Hi George:

Thanks for the link. I listened to the samples which were beautiful. Reminds me of the New Age/World music jag I was on about 15 years ago. I had a tape by Carlos Nakai[?] which had a very similar sound to the one you suggested. Very peaceful and centering  :)
'I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.' ~ Emily Bronte

Two more.

Part-- "Cantus In Memory Of Benjamin Britten"

Barber-- "Adagio For Strings"

Here's one that came to mind when I was in need of a calming moment recently:
Alkan's Concerto da camera No.3 (as reconstructed) on Naxos 8.553702.
The slow movement of Clara Wieck's Piano Concerto is perfect too but it does run straight into the finale.
A day may be a destiny; for life
Lives in but little—but that little teems
With some one chance, the balance of all time:
A look—a word—and we are wholly changed.

Here is one that might work, depending on the type of meditation.  Or, if it is too distracting, you might listen to it as a pre-meditation exercise.

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life. - Ludwig van Beethoven

Hello Solitary Wanderer,

   I have been looking for something similar to you and it is what I found:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRDtrsuIEk8&list=PL58DCD0682DB2498A
(it contains Part, Tavener, Preisner and others)

I am aware that youtube is probably not the best source for music, but still consider that this playlist is really a great choice!

Enjoy!
