Maurice Ravel's Boléro [1]. The piece is about 10 minutes long. Ravel stated his idea for the piece was taking a theme and trying "to repeat it a number of times on different orchestral levels but without any development." It's a tune that just fades into the background nicely. I can put it on repeat for a couple hours, and the slow rises and falls in volume keep me in a good rhythm.
