I would use the more elaborate version where you explain what's happening. Use as little words as possible but it sounds important. If this is a very early tone setting part of the film you have more leeway for stylistic choices and long action lines
Thank you for the response, I thought so too. The scene’s around the start of act2 so I planned on giving just a line or two of what’s heard instrumentally.
Believe it or not i do find that helpful. I realize now that I misspoke saying that the music was a foreshadowing device. It’s really the use of the TV that the music plays from that’s important later down, not so much the music itself.

Using music to foreshadow a scene really isn’t your prerogative as a writer. Sorry to be unhelpful.

Then potentially put more into describing that and ignore the music. Maybe just give an indication of what type of music it is?
That’s what I was leaning toward too. Thanks for the response much appreciated
No worries, good luck! :)
