🎵 this is a terribly specific request, but does anyone have recommendations for music that: (1) is predominantly in a minor key, (2) hangs out in maybe one or two octaves at a time, & (3) is fairly to very melancholic? A la Arvo Pärt, or Bon Iver, or?

I keep listening to the same writing music as I did with my first novel, am desperate for new music! I can't just listen to Arvo Pärt until I die!

Replying to and
I listen to those endlessly, but also But also, Górecki's 3 Symphony (if you don't slit your wrists beforehand!) and Mahler's Kindertotenlieder. The Górecki fits what you're looking for (masterwork). Not sure whether Kinder does, and don't know why I listen to it, but it's great.
