Is there any music that just reminds you of BGW every time you hear it? (Which is the best kind of music, by the way)

Here's one. The trio especially, it just makes me feel like I'm walking through Italy. I think there also certain compositional techniques that can get this feel but I don't know the name for it other than "Busch Gardens music".

Wouldn’t this just be classical music? Or should I also include bad Italian pop from the 2000s?

Also, that is an Austrian march which wouldn’t really match San Marco’s mostly string/violin music that is from Italian composers.

No, as lots of classical music does not match. It has to have a certain rhythmic uniqueness and subtle chromatic elements in the motives, as well as some way it modulates. I'm terrible with theory, and know Schubert is Austrian. It just conveys a certain feeling that just matches, maybe it's too hard to explain. I mean, it's involved in lots of Polish dance rhythms (Chopin haha) and a bit of Tchaikovsky. It can be the instrumentation but also the rhythms.

I don't know how to pinpoint, just anything that seems like it matches. If Italian string music does not sound "Busch Gardnes-y" to me, maybe they're not getting the right feeling across. And no I would not consider overplaying O Holy Night 505400000099999999 times Busch Gardens music, that's overplaying O Holy Night 505400000099999999 times. But essentially what I'm trying to get at is everyone's own views on what is categorized as this feeling of music, it's what feels like it matches really. Sorry if this was a bad explanation.
 
Yes, exactly what I was going for - a "feel-good" aspect of music, yet ambivalent interpretation/understanding. Certainly matches with the "Busch Gardens" feel.

So I'm not sure where else this would be proper to post. I have a Irish Folk song that I published/released recently. I must say I'm very proud of it. Since I don't have means of promotion like a continuous backing band, I thought how great it would be to sell it to my favorite theme park so that people could actually enjoy it. Anybody aware of anyone within this community associated with the entertainment department?
