I presume you're talking about the mood of the music matching with the video, but they match in another way as well. Undoubtedly you already know this, but I wanted to add for people who don't: the music was composed first, and was played during filming, allowing the actors to synchronize their movements with the music.
The bit about Henry Fonda changing his appearance and Sergio Leone not agreeing with that: I think you're right it's on the DVD. There's a separate soundtrack with comments from various people while the movie is playing, and I /think/ it's in there somewhere, but I'm not 100% sure. They also talk about how Henry Fonda was very famous at the time, famous for playing the good guy. Seeing him playing the bad guys had quite a shocking effect on audiences, which was Leone's intention. A bit like Tom Hanks suddenly playing a vicious assassin (more relatable for people my age).
- svat 2y ago> bit like Tom Hanks suddenly playing a vicious assassin FWIW, Tom Hanks was in Cloud Atlas, where he played at least one evil character (though it was Hugh Grant I remember as more vicious, which was also out of type for him, at least at the time).
