Can you help me with this? (Regarding scenes)

Could you suggest a scene from a movie that doesn’t have music in it, but might work with music?

I know there’s The Birds, but I don’t think music would work for that particular scene at all because of what Hitchcock’s vision was.

Dang!! I was ready to say The Birds 🙂 How about the chariot race on Ben-Hur?

What about this?

Isn’t the light saber battle at the end of Empire left unscored?

Good idea, but I think the problem is that those movies (and scores) are so iconic.

It’s not a movie, but "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" has an episode without a single note of score in it.

Season Five’s ‘The Body’.

It’s got quite a few scenes might play differently with score. Mostly melancholy tones but I think there’s a short fight scene at the end too.

This is for the FSM Composer’s Challenge?

Any silent film.

I could mention the T-Rex attack in Jurassic Park, The extra vehicle activity scenes on 2001, or virtually all of The Day After, but of course, they were never meant to have a score. Most film scenes without music have so because it is felt to be stronger without it. So your at a bit of a disadvantage.
So…

Any silent film. (They all had scores, and some had some pretty good ones, but nobody really knows them.)
