Perhaps they should have left the high notes out. they are not in the
original version anyway.....!

Musical instruments can be played during Lent depending on the
denomination. The Allegri Miserere is meant to be a cappella, and that
would be a reason to not include instruments. However, I was in a choir
whose sopranos were having a lot of difficulty with the high notes, so
our director imbedded an oboe player in the soprano section to give
support and confidence.

My parish's choir always sings the Gregorio Allegri Miserere, Psalm 51,
on Ash Wednesday. I'd love to see the lute could be included in that
piece.

That wouldn't be very appropriate as musical instruments including the
organ
are not supposed to be used during Lent.
