It’s hard just to pick music intended for a completely different scene and then try to work it with another scene. The structure of the music - the accents,, the pace, the key etc - are all intended for a specific scene. I mean, here we have about 75% of the duel being scored with some low, tense music and none of the actions are really expressed or emphasised. It feels as though V and D should be staring at each other as opposed to doing these breathtaking spells, and then this almost-heroic motif explodes as the bad guy starts winning . I think the best way to try this scene with music would be for someone to study the scene and then right a score accordingly.
