I personally recommend these music pieces for contemplative prayer practices including Audio Divina.

Classical

1. Arvo Pärt - "Spiegel im Spiegel" for piano and violin (sometimes replaced with another instrument like cello). A profound piece that embodies stillness and peace through its minimalist approach. The gentle piano arpeggios and floating violin lines create a meditative atmosphere that many describe as transcendent. [YouTube reference: search "Arvo Part Spiegel im Spiegel"] 10 mins
2. Ralph Vaughan Williams - "The Lark Ascending" Originally for piano and violin, sometimes performed with solo violin and orchestra. This composition captures the essence of light and transcendence as it musically portrays a skylark soaring heavenward. The violin solo represents the bird's flight toward divine light.

Gregorian Chant

3. "Pange Lingua Gloriosi" (Gregorian Chant) A contemplative chant that evokes profound silence and stillness. Its modal melody and unaccompanied voices create a sense of timelessness and peace. [YouTube reference: search "Pange Lingua Gregorian Chant"]

Contemporary/Inspirational

4. Eric Whitacre - "Lux Aurumque" Translating to "Light and Gold," this choral piece creates an otherworldly atmosphere of comfort and light through its lush harmonies and ethereal sound. [YouTube reference: search "Eric Whitacre Lux Aurumque"]
5. Olafur Arnalds - "Fyrsta" A modern neo-classical piece that embodies silence and peace through its contemplative piano and subtle string arrangements. Its simplicity creates space for inner reflection. [YouTube reference: search "Olafur Arnalds Fyrsta"]
