The issue with the issur of music is usually construed within the context of dancing.<br>
<br>
Passively listening to serious music such as at a symphonic concert is AUI not a problem within the 3 weeks or Sefira <br>
<br>
And listening to Requiem type music might even be desirable in the
spirit of mekoonenos. See Mo'ed Kattan elu megalchin re: ein Onin
ba'mo'ed implying that otehrwise onin and Mekonenim is done even
with instruments... <br>

I referred to the Worms minneg books and the Chavves Yoer's notes to<br>
one of them, where no mention of a prohibition of music is to be found.<br>
