Anything bagpipes
Sanguisugabogg - Dead As Shit
Stairway to Heaven
Creating God - Avenged Sevenfold
…I think it’s actually about AI, but this is about as theistic as it gets on my personal playlist.
Shockingly prophetic for something from 2016 - as far as our usage goes, it nailed it.
I go through changes but some really chill pieces I have liked over the years are:
Clannad - Coinleach Glas An Fhómhair (Cantoma Mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo3Vhmv8cxw
Enya - Echoes In Rain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdKfQJSHWEY
Thievery Corporation - Nos Dois https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbt78buj80Q
Final Fantasy VII - Tifa’s Theme (Pianoピアノ） https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCS5yfXbSbE
Dolphin Boy - Shake it Loose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyWIBup6eFE
Miserere (full title: Miserere mei, Deus, Latin for “Have mercy on me, O God”) is a setting of Psalm 51 (Psalm 50 in Septuagint numbering) by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri. It was composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII, probably during the 1630s, for the exclusive use of the Sistine Chapel during the Tenebrae services of Holy Week, and its mystique was increased by unwritten performance traditions and ornamentation. It is written for three choirs, two of five and four voices respectively, with a third choir singing plainsong responses, each singing alternately and joining to sing the ending in one of the most recognised and enduring examples of polyphony, in this case in a 9-part rendition.

James O’Donnel’s setting of the 139th Psalm
Duane Funderburk - Praise My Soul the King of Heaven
This rendition of And Can it Be gets me as well… Even though it is a guy singing, and everyone kind of joining in, with the steady rhythm. There’s something appealing about it.
The Church’s One Foundation also works like this
Anything that Steven Wilson has made. Dude’s a living legend.
Guess that kind of depends on whether you’re going for “sublime serene harmony” or “the unfathomable might of God”. I think the church kinda nailed it on both fronts, choirs for the first and pipe organs for the second.
This scene from Mr. Nobody is a great example of the first, which seems a bit more what you’re going for.
Domash Qudaibergen’s high end is downright angelic during the climax of the song.
