Default Holy Minimalism
Holy Minimalism, also called Spiritual, Sacred or Mystic Minimalism, is a genre of modern composition music which is rooted in 'traditional' Minimalist composition, but instead of following the established pattern of 'cold' disharmonicism, returns to pre-modern use of harmony and melody. Holy Minimalism often takes use of elements of church music, in most cases that of Eastern Orthodox choral traditions, but in a minimalist scope.

Examples (yes, listening to composition music on YouTube is dumb, but here we go):
Arvo Pärt, Estonia, b. 1935

An obscure valley would be for me the sole habitable earth."

excellent post.
I concur. On the more pop music side, there is Max Richter. If you are not into classical music, better first listen to him and then to Arvo Part.
