The first ones that I reach for are Tennessee Williams/Faulkner adaptations such as A Streetcar Named Desire, Baby Doll, Summer and Smoke, and The Long Hot Summer.

I also associate summer with the water, so any kinds of summery water scores such as Jaws, of course, or Beneath the 12-Mile Reef work for me.

For tropical adventure scores, there are things like Lalo Schifrin’s Rhino and Johnny Mandel’s Drums of Africa.

As for Les Baxter, scores like Cervantes and Markko Polo fit the bill.

That’s just off the top of my head.
