A soundtrack can be very useful for setting the scene. The style of music tells you what the mood's going to be, and awesome moments need booming soundtracks with lots of instruments making up the sound to be even more awesome.
But with depressing moments, it's the other way around: you only need a slow and soft melody with very few instruments to know that what's happening or has just happened is supposed to be a Tear Jerker - if not for the audience, then for the characters at least.
Subtropes include Nostalgic Musicbox, Lonely Piano Piece, Playing the Heart Strings and One-Woman Wail.

A simple piano soundtrack accompanies several scenes of Asteroid in Love where sadness of at least some of the cast is evident, most intensely during the part of the eighth episode from the time Ao tells Mira and Mai she is moving, and the ensuring discussions on how to minimize its impact, so as to underline the sense of sadness that news gives to everyone involved.

In Turning Red, the score that plays during Mei's first night that she has to deal with the red panda transformation is much simpler and quieter than most of the rest of the soundtrack. Similarly, the score that plays after Mei betrays her friends is simple and solemn as is that which plays when Mei finds her mother crying in the forest.

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
The song that plays when Yue sacrifices herself to revive the Moon Spirit.
Iroh's song as he burns incense for his son in 'Tales of Ba Sing Se'.
Also, the music playing during the final Agni Kai between Zuko and Azula. There is just something so final about the score, probably because it's only slowly beating drums and string instruments playing a series of chords. It's oddly fitting.

Mass Effect 3 brings us I Was Lost Without You (at least for the first part of the song, which is also the game's love theme, it builds up towards the climax).
As well as Leaving Earth, which has a sad piano tune backed by a bass section doing a convincing imitation of the Reaper Horn. The song is played in the beginning of the game when our heroes are forced to flee Earth in the face of the Reaper invasion.
And of course, An End Once And For All, which is a reprise of both Leaving Earth and the Normandy theme.

Some versions of Les Misérables - most notably the 10th Anniversary Concert - have "The Sewers", a simple instrumental version of "Bring Him Home" that plays as the dust settles from the final battle onto the bodies of the revolutionaries, or as Valjean carries Marius's unconscious body through the sewers. The 2012 film uses the same music as Javert inspects the wreckage of the barricade and the bodies of the revolutionaries, and pins one of his medals onto Gavroche's body.
Then there's "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables", which starts simple and sad as Marius suffers his Heroic BSoD - and in the movie, begins completely a capella to emphasize how truly alone Marius is. Same goes for "Turning", which is about peasant women (in some versions, it's implied to be the Revolutionaries' girlfriends/lovers, as it's the same actresses playing both) singing about the outcome of the revolution, and in the movie cleaning up the bodies and blood from the very men they're singing about.

Most of the songs in the Heisei Godzilla films are upbeat or sound like they're best suited for action/suspense scenes. And, then you have the far more somber "Requiem" which plays at the end of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah while Godzilla dies.

The Final Fantasy series count several:
Aerith's Theme from Final Fantasy VII. A crushing theme for Aerith's death, which even plays during the boss battle, and which doesn't stop until the following morning, after Cloud let Aerith's body rest in peace in the lake.
To Zanarkand from Final Fantasy X. Also a Lonely Piano Piece and the game's main theme.
Via Purifico/Path of Repentance from the same game. As haunting as it is sad, it plays over Yuna's section of the eponymous dungeon, just after she learns her religion's leaders are all hypocritical bastards, and reunites with her guardians.
Meeting You from Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, which plays during Hope's final goodbye to Lightning. Especially the part where the Lonely Piano Piece stops and, after a brief pause, the Playing the Heart Strings starts.

Interview with the Vampire (2022):
"...After the Phantoms of Your Former Self": A slow, melancholic version of Daniel Hart's "The Drum Was My Heart" is heard during the final two scenes, which has a lone violin for the melody and a piano for the bass. In 1916, this musical cue represents the end of the honeymoon phase for Louis de Pointe du Lac and Lestat de Lioncourt's Metaphorical Marriage because cracks have begun to appear, while in 2022, the dessert is the same one Daniel Molloy had when he proposed to his first wife Alice, and his tone of voice while he's reminiscing suggests that he misses her (or at least misses how happy they were at the start of their engagement).
"Is My Very Nature That of a Devil": Hart repeats the convention of a solo violin with a piano bassline to convey sorrow for the track "My Very Nature That of the Devil". Louis is haunted by his mother's belief that he's the Devil as his remaining links to humanity are forcibly severed. His family are scared of his strange comportment and unearthly powers, so they want nothing more to do with him, and his businesses have ceased operations because of the enforcement of City Ordinance 4118.

"Sally's Song" from The Nightmare Before Christmas is noticeably softer and simpler than the rest of the movie's soundtrack. In the song, Sally talks about how she's afraid Jack will never notice how she feels about him.
