At the same time as he wrote the rest of As You Like It. Opinions are going to vary on that, but let's say around 1599 or so.

What songs relate to seven ages of man by William Shakespeare?

The speech called "The Seven Ages of Man" is from a play by William Shakespeare called As You Like It. That play contains more songs than any other Shakespeare play. That is to say, William Shakespeare wrote the lyrics to the following songs to be performed in the play: "Under the Greenwood Tree", "It Was a Lover and his Lass", "Blow, Blow thou Winter Wind", "What shall he have that killed the deer?" and "Wedding is great Juno's crown". The music written by Thomas Morley to sing "It Was a Lover and his Lass" in Shakespeare's lifetime still exists and it is a great song. One of the verses of "Under the Greenwood Tree" is sung by Jaques, the same character who delivers the "Seven Ages" speech., so that is probably the song most closely related to the speech. If Morley wrote music to that one we no longer have it, but the setting by the Barenaked Ladies in 2005 is superb. (Check YouTube to hear it)

As You Like It contains a number of great songs such as "It was a Lover and His Lass", "Under the Greenwood Tree" and "Blow, blow thou Winter Wind." "Who is Sylvia" from the Two Gentlemen of Verona is a Famous Lyric. Twelfth Night has "Come, come away death", "The Rain it Raineth Every Day" (reprised in King Lear), and "O Mistress Mine". "The Willow Song" from Othello, "Full Fathom Five" and "Where the Bee Sucks" from The Tempest, "Fear No More the Heat o' the Sun" from Cymbeline, "Tell Me Where is Fancy Bred" from Merchant of Venice are others. Shakespeare must have written more than three dozen songs for his plays. The sonnets are not songs. They were not meant to be sung and are rarely set to music. Iambic pentameter is not easy to set to music.

What are the main features of Under The Greenwood Tree by William shakespeare?

As You Like It is a pastoral comedy, that is, a comedy extolling the benefits of country life, especially sheep herding. Such themes were common in the plays, poems (think Marlowe's A Passionate Shepherd to his Love) and song lyrics (think Morley's Now is the Month of Maying) of the Elizabethan Era. It is also, although not a musical in the sense we would normally think of it, a play with a lot of music in it. Shakespeare had to write the lyrics for a bunch of new songs which would appear in the play. Under the Greenwood Tree is a nice pastoral lyric, perfect for this play.

Why is winter the season most or best associated with As You Like It by Shakespeare?

Is it? "Under the Greenwood tree; who loves to lie with me", "It was a lover and his lass . . . in springtime, in springtime, the only pretty ring time", camping out in the forest, shepherds, love and marriage. It doesn't sound like winter to me.
