- Katiusha - The Red Army Choir
- Sednalo e Gyore - Trakia Folk Ensemble
- Nyon Nyon - Millikin University Choir

- Prayer for Travelling - Gabriel Jackson
- Adam's Lament - Arvo Part
- Earth Song - Frank Ticheli
- Requiem: Domine Jesu Christe - Fredrik Sixten
- Cells Planets - Chanticleer

A personal favorite of mine is #6. It is considered Arvo Part's masterpiece. If you listen to nothing else, listed to #4 and #9.
