To the selections recommended above, I'd also like to add:

James Blackshaw: The Cloud Of Unknowing
Brian Tyler: Children Of Dune OST
Just about anything by Azam Ali or by Vas (joint project by Azam Ali and Greg Ellis)

Samuel Barber's 'Adagio for Strings' is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. I am like putty in its hand(s).

Hmmm ... how many hands does music have?

I'll 2nd Arvo Part and Sigur Ros, and add Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos, and Beth Orton\Comfort of Strangers.

Did you mean happy beautiful or sad beautiful btw?

Am I the only person who reads through threads like this with my eyes becoming the size of saucers at what other people regard as "beautiful" music?

That said, the poster who mentioned Part's Te Deum was right on the money.
