Music in line with the spirit of the period would be appropriate: things like Eli Eli, songs based on mournful tehillim (the Mi Ma’akim perakim), verses from Eicha, etc. seem appropriate. One of the most haunting things I find myself listening to at this time is Antoine Brumel’s motet (a capella SATB), which is Eicha 1:8 and Eicha 1:11. Very moving.
