1. Playing of the organ and musical instruments with no singing
During Mass at several Parishes, organs and instrumental music are played. Most times a passage is played on an organ or on another musical instrument(s) even though nobody is singing.
With few exceptions Though, this should not be done in Lent.
Thus, the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) states in 313: In Lent the playing of the organ and musical instruments is allowed only in order to support the singing. Exceptions, however, are Laetare Sunday (Fourth Sunday of Lent), Solemnities, and Feasts.
