A spectacularly example of uplifting “non-Jewish” music is “Va, pensiero”. It was written by the non-Jewish but philo-Semitic Italian opera composer Giuseppe Verdi. It expresses musically the composer’s feelings about what Jews in Babylon must have felt while in exile longing for their land. I find it as moving as Psalm 137.
