What Are Your Favorite Instrumental Tunes?

The subject of instrumentals came up in another thread, so I thought it might be fun to see what instrumental tunes everyone enjoys. Instrumentals cover a wide range of genres when you start to think about it; classical (of course), movie soundtracks, pop, jazz, big band oldies, blues, country, rock, and many instrumental versions of your favorite song titles, too.

 

So what instrumental music do you like? What are your favorite tunes or instrumental versions of your favorite songs? Multiple tunes and multiple genres are okay. And, if you have favorite on youtube, feel free to post the link so that we can listen, too!

We play the Spa Channel on Sirius for our dogs and I hear alot of the same songs.  Here are some I really like.  We lost my nephew a year ago last July to suicide so they make me think of him and what he is doing in Heaven now.  

 

Michael Logozar "Aria" 

Kelly Andrew "Seranade Of The Night"

Stanton Lanier "Awaken The Dawn"

Tuxedo Junction - The Glenn Miller Orchestra

 

...Hope this isn't outta line, but has to be one of the sexiest songs I've ever heard...could slip seamlessly into a Barry White playlist.

@EricC227821  Great dance tune... In the 90’s, I went through a phase of listening to Big Band music and even took some dance lessons.
