I'll have to look and see what it said about music.

Very little, other than using the adjective 'sacred'.

[57.] It is the right of the community of Christ’s faithful that especially in the Sunday celebration there should customarily be true and suitable sacred music, and that there should always be an altar, vestments and sacred linens that are dignified, proper, and clean, in accordance with the norms.

And no music during the Eucharistic Prayer.

This is the one that confuses me. I've heard it chanted. Does this mean that the modern Mass settings that have undercurrent background noise is to be eliminated, or that the Eucharistic Prayer must be said.

Makes me wonder whether this was an accident or not.

The term "sacred" music has a VERY specific meaning--and does NOT include hymns.
