Music Divine is a group of professional singers based in NYC who sing unaccompanied secular and sacred music, mainly Renaissance, centered around the year MD (1500)--plus or minus 500 years--from plainchant to Pärt.
Music Divine takes its name from a 6-voice piece by Thomas Tomkins (1572-1656), published in 1622 in the marvelous collection of his works:
Songs of 3, 4, 5, and 6 parts, by Thomas Tomkins: organist of his Majesty's Chapel Royal.
Music divine, proceeding from above,
Whose sacred subject oftentimes is love,
In this appears her heavenly harmony,
Where tuneful concords sweetly do agree.
And yet in this her slander is unjust,
To call that love which is indeed but lust.
