About this playlist
If you're seeking a musical connection with the holy, you could do worse than the devotional catalogue of the Western classical tradition. Much of it was, after all, written for church, from Mozart's rich Requiem to Górecki's profound choral work. We've collected excerpts from some of the most awe-inspiring pieces written by composers under the influence of the divine.
