I wouldn't really call that Arvo Part piece especially "minimalist".
It's sparse and tonal. And it's quite long. But I would say it's less deserving of the description "minimalist" than say Philip Glass in his earlier style: (anything prior to Satyagraha where he changed a fair bit) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ2H1Ipr9FA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ2H1Ipr9FA or Steve Reich (most stuff before maybe Desert Music) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P_9hDzG1i0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P_9hDzG1i0
- which I'm guessing is not the kind of thing you're after.
I do really like most Arvo Part. You'd probably also like John Tavener (not Taverner who was someone else entirely) and Gorecki. Those three often get lumped in together. From there I discovered Alan Hovhaness who is a kind of precursor - much less minimalist again but the music comes from a similar place.
