Do you know of any works for a heart like mine? Something like the German Requiem by Brahms or Vespers (All Night Vigil) by Rachmaninov? Something to instill some spirituality in my hardened little atheist heart? I didn’t find Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis but it didn’t touch me. Should I give it another try? Something else?

@kensanata It's not purely choral, but I would suggest Bach's St-Matthew's Passion. For contemporary choral music, Arvo Pärt's Nunc Dimittis.

@wim_v12e I definitely could use some more Arvo Pärt! Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten, Miserez, and other pieces are already favorites of mine. And exploring YouTube from there is leading me to some good stuff. Thanks!
