Anyways, Arvo Pärt's music is some of the most beautiful and relaxing I've ever heard. Some quotes from the man:
"I could compare my music to white light which contains all colours. Only a prism can divide the colours and make them appear; this prism could be the spirit of the listener. "
"Silence is the pause in me when I am near to God. "
"The human voice is the most perfect instrument of all. "
"Tintinnabulation (the ringing of bells) is an area I sometimes wander into when I am searching for answers - in my life, my music, my work. In my dark hours, I have the certain feeling that everything outside this one thing has no meaning."
Enjoy.

Tabula Rasa--this includes some of Pärt's most famous pieces of music, such as "Fratres" and "Tabula Rasa."
Te Deum--easily my favorite religious music ever. Beautiful choral music.
