I understand your perspective on the choice of music for that scene. That's definitely one reaction to laugh at the absurdism. I'd suggest the composition isn't necessarily intended to elicit an emotional response from the audience. For we'd be in line for a prison cell next to them, if we had as keen predilection to play justification on the motives inside a death cult. But perhaps it's to inform us on how they view the romanticising of their actions, behaviours and rituals within their cult. I think it served that purpose 'fairly' well, rather than having to listen to too much expositional ramblings, of why they are motivated to do the fooked up shizzel that they do. Was laughably bonkers though.

Death Lego

I am guessing that the whole point of the violin music during Charlie's death was to inform Roderick's behavior in the next scene. But this is me giving the writers the benefit of the doubt when it comes to their awareness of how tasteless that scene was, otherwise. If he came to the same realization that you did about Charlie's death, then Roderick lashing out would make more sense. But it's kind of hard to really tell when everyone in that house belongs to a death-worshipping cult of emotionally damaged killers.
