It appears you think Jesus erred in the Cenacle at the Last Supper because he sang, essentially, plainchant. There were no cymbals, trumpets, strings, flutes etc.

I am assuming, if you consider it for awhile, you'd agree with me that such joy would have been out of place given the occasion.

Would you have been in the garden at Gethsemane, close to the Cross, upon which our Lord and Saviour was dying, shouting for joy, banging a tambourine, blowing a trumpet, etc?

You are assuming Christ sang at the Last Supper, and also assuming that he sang 12th Century plain chant. Fact is, we don't know precisely what music was like 2000 years ago.

The Last Supper was to observe Passover, and there was a certain joy in that. Christ, Himself, knew what He was observing, and knew that He would soon be sacrificing Himself, and for Him it was a solemn ocassion.

As to Gethsemane, no, I wouldn't be shouting and jumping for joy. If I were not sleeping, as the disciples were, I would hope that I would have been sharing Jesus's agony. That, of course, was a special moment, and a moment Christ suffered through to give us redemption...and that is, indeed, praiseworthy.
