Anxiety has a couple of different meanings. There's the everyday use of the word, and I guess calming music would help with that. I like Phillip Glass (which a lot of people find surprising for calming music) or Max Richter's Sleep.
But if anxiety interferes with your day to day life and causes significant distress it might be an anxiety disorder. There are a few different things under the class of anxiety disorder so I'm not going to list symptoms. Luckily, often they've very treatable. Current advice is to start with psycho-education, then step up to a talking therapy (and cognitive behaviour therapy has a good evidence base, it's short and should be affordable), and if that's not working to step up to a combination of meds and a more intensive talking therapy.
Anxiety disorders cause many years of life lost to disability, and they can be really distressing for people.
