Decoding The Last Supper notes

An Italian composer claims to have discovered hidden musical notes encoded into Leonardo Da Vinci's painting, The Last Supper. The code involves the placement of the loaves of bread at the supper and the hands of Jesus and his apostles. If you read the notes right to left, similar to Leonardo's mirror-image writing, they produce a 40-second composition that "sounds like a requiem."

But wait.... If you read the notes in a straightforward manner—with the cutlery and the salt shakers thrown in, too—the notes sound more like Louis Armstrong's 1925 tune Yes, I'm In De Barrel.
