anyone know any gregorian chant-like music that has a somber, contemplative, possibly dark vibe to it? most of the stuff i hear is kind of uplifting, which is great, but that kind of music i know is capable of sounding really really good when it tries to be downer instead of upper
this is the only piece i know of that fits my description:

Care to back that up?
"Ars antiqua, also called ars veterum or ars vetus, refers to the music of Europe of the late Middle Ages between approximately 1170, and 1310, covering the period of the Notre Dame school of polyphony, and the subsequent years which saw the early development of the motet."
"Pérotin (fl. c. 1200), also called Perotin the Great, was a European composer, believed to be French, who lived around the end of the 12th and beginning of the 13th century. He was the most famous member of the Notre Dame school of polyphony and the ars antiqua style."
Both accounts of Perotin and Leonin come from a single very dubious source. A single student at Notre Dame. The estimates of their lifespans are very vague, and it's entirely likely that Perotin was composing in the middle of the 12th century. In fact, the accounts I've seen date the majority of both Perotin and Leonin's work between 1130-1150. Quite a way before ars antiqua even began shaping. And even at the latest estimates of the first decade of the 13th century still puts him in the middle of ars antiqua, meaning that he would still have significant contributions to it.
But even without those estimates, find me a composer before Leonin and Perotin that was moving toward actual polyphony.
