This is a list of New Age music artists with articles on Wikipedia.
New Age music is broadly defined as relaxing, even "meditative", music that is primarily instrumental. Unlike relaxing forms of classical music, New Age music makes greater use of electronica and non-Western instrumentation. There is some debate on what can be considered "New Age music", for example several musicians in Celtic music or Smooth jazz have expressed annoyance at being labeled "New Age musicians." For more on that debate, see the article on New Age music. In addition, several musicians object to the label because they fear it implies a connection to the New Age movement.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, age, music and/or artists:
“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“O love, if I regret the age when one savors you, it is not for the hour of pleasure, but for the one that follows it.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
“When we are in health, all sounds fife and drum for us; we hear the notes of music in the air, or catch its echoes dying away when we awake in the dawn.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A really great poet is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating. The worse their rhymes are, the more picturesque they look. The mere fact of having published a book of second-rate sonnets makes a man quite irresistible. He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realise.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
