The first piece I would like to recommend is a piece by Arvo Part entitled
"Te Deum." I just bought the CD, with the same title, and its fantastic.
All the works on the CD are by Part. The other two choral works are good
as well, "Magnificat" and "Berliner Messe."
The following are other selections that I have found to be very
inspirational and some ethereal:
Thomas Tallis: "Spem in alium"
Palestrina: "Missa Papae Marcelli"
Josquin Desprez: "In principio erat verbum," which comes from a CD entitled
"Musical Book of Hours." The ensemble is Pomerium. (This is just one of a
few good ones off that CD)
Allegri: "Miserere mei, Deus"
Praetorius/Sandstrom: "Det Ar En Ros Utsprungen"
Mozart: "Ave Verum Corpus, K. 618"
Tchaikovsky: "Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom"
Rachmaninoff: "Vespers"
Franz Biebl: "Ave Maria"
Georgy Sviridov: "Reveille (No. 7, A Puskin Wreath)"
Anders Orwall, arranger: "Folksong from Dalarna"
Penderecki: "Agnus dei" from his "Polish Requiem" (I think)
John Tavener: "The Lamb," "Innocence," and "Song for Athene"
Preisner: "Lacrimosa" from his "Requiem"
If you want to know more about any of these just email me at:

or put it on the last. I hope this helps!
