may i ask which genre of music? as you said, divinity in music is an old concept and in the present day there are many people with varying opinions as to what would constitute "divine music".

in my opinion, olivier messiaen (b. dec. 10, 1908, avignon, france.d. april 27, 1992, clichy, near paris), for instance was such an illuminary. his "trois petites liturgies de la présence divine", written in 1943-44 is such a work. rarely have i heard such strains which had the spark of the divine present and accounted for, but this piece has it. it has the x factor.

there are many others like olivier messiaen who had the same effect on me.
