Looking for somber and lamenting (mostly instrumental) music recommendation, best if featuring pipe organ and/or strings

I've been craving something dark, gothic, neo classical, similar to Anna von Hausswolff's Dolore di Orisini/Persephone (from the album All thoughts Flight)

Other things I've been enjoying in a similar mood is the album Orphée by the late Jóhann Jóhannsson

Levity and tragedy in Kharkanas

So I'm slowly reading through Fall of Light (chapter 12) and I'm so surprised by how many people paint it as a dour book with no levity when it has Prazek and Dathenar, the Thel Akai husbands and countless Jhagut whose absurdity and humour balances delightfully with he rest of the tale without ever feeling out of place and bring much needed relief to this tale of extinction. Of course the tragedy and drama is the dominating flavour of this trilogy but I wouldn't want it any other way.

Like genuinely every time there's a Ravast, Tathenal and Garelko section I know I'm gonna have a blast laughing.
