Song Request

I recently had a request from a reader looking for a song to use in a screenplay. Before I chime in with my thoughts, would love to get some of your opinions on what would be great songs to recommend. Here was what was requested of me:

Hi – I am writing a movie set in the early 1900s in the US. I am wondering if you would recommend a hauntingly spiritual song that has dirge like qualities that has some solo parts – needs to be very moving to hear. Thank you for your expertise on this.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
