Air on the G StringBurossamu firu

Composed by Bach, this is a quiet yet powerfully moving piece written for strings only.
The understated main melody combined with the bass line that repeatedly shifts by octaves gives it an indescribable charm.
It is often used as background music in art galleries, weddings, and similar settings.
Ave verum corpus (Mozart)Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Since it’s a Mass, many composers have works with the same title, but the one I’d like to introduce is Mozart’s Ave verum corpus.
While the most basic form is a church choir performance, this piece is also used in instrumental renditions rather than vocal ones.
In the featured video, it is performed by a male four-part ensemble.
BirdsongTsuchida Hidenobu

The original piece is a Catalan folk song that became widely known through Pablo Casals’s cello performances.
In vocal renditions, the tenor José Carreras often sings it at recitals, and despite its melancholic melody, it is also a song with a celebratory meaning.
The video introduced this time features a cello performance by Eijun Tsuchida.
Black Boat SongHasegawa Kiyoshi

It’s a classic, so there are many covers, but the best is probably guitarist virtuoso Kiyoshi Hasegawa’s solo rendition.
The lyrics aren’t exactly bright, yet as you listen through to the end, you’re drawn into the power of that world, and it has a compelling quality that steels your nerves.
RELAXING MUSIC FOR CHILL OUT AND DE STRESS calming and soothing, relaxation peaceful soul music

This is a track in the binaural beats genre.
It’s a little-known but highly played piece of sleep music on the internet.
Among the types of human relaxation, sleep is said to be one of the most soothing.
There are many tracks available, so why not try finding one that suits you?
Anpanman music box

When a baby has trouble falling asleep, it’s really tough for parents.
At times like that, having music that helps them drift off would make such a difference.
This is “Anpanman Music Box: Puts Your Baby to Sleep in 5 Minutes.” Maybe the high frequencies of the music box affect the human body.
There’s also a subtle sound in the background that’s like a flowing river.
Healing Music 1 ~Nature Sounds for Deep Sleep and Relaxation~

The singing bowl is a sacred ritual instrument passed down in Nepalese Buddhism and Tibetan Vajrayana.
Its overtones contain what’s known as “1/f fluctuation,” which is said to guide our brainwaves from beta, associated with wakefulness, to alpha, associated with a calm state.
It is also said to open the seven chakras in the human body.
I encourage you to experience this sound for yourself.
