I was excited to see a number of silent movies on Amazon Prime Video, but gave up in disgust after trying only a couple. None of the music even remotely matched the film, even when Wikipedia says a full orchestral score was originally produced.
Instead, each was backed by a piano playing Scott Joplin ragtime songs.
Nothing like watching the hero getting struck by an arrow in a sudden betrayal while listening to the Entertainer or Maple Leaf Rag.
