Maurice Jarre - 'Building the Barn' from Witness. Randy Edelman - 'Fixing The Old Beaver' from Six Days, Seven Nights John Williams' - 'Preparing The Cage' or 'Shark Cage Fugue' from Jaws James Horner - 'Deciding To Build the Field' from Field Of Dreams Alan Silvestri - 'Building The Trap' from Predator
Disc 2 of the great Rhino soundtrack has "Painting Montage," which weaves together two Gershwin tunes, performed as songs earlier in the movie, into a really thrilling accompaniment to the sequence wherein the Gene Kelly character frantically tries to complete a number of canvases for an upcoming art show.
Preisner, before "Three colours", made the extraordinary "The double life of Veronica", in which we see creative process and rehearsals of a concert piece. Great. And : - Building the dam - Battle of San Sebastian. Ennio Morricone (wonderful complete FSM CD !) - El Greco (the whole). Ennio Morricone.
Horner again, this time with Volunteers. He writes a majestic piece for a bridge building sequence (I think it's a bridge). One day, I'm sure, we will hear it in it's true glory.
In Avengers: Age of Ultron, there's a brief cue during the montage when Tony Stark and Bruce Banner are working in the lab creating Ultron. The Tyler-Elfman experts will no doubt no the name of said cue...

That is a great example. I hope this score sees the light of day soon.
Another example...The Creation from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein by Patrick Doyle
was Christopher Young's The Creation mentioned already? I don't know the score really, remember there was Arvo Pärt channeled in some of the ambiences, but maybe there is a cue there which might belong on the list?
What about Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Training or what the cue was called. Another montage, they prepare the traps and train to shot etc., which reminds me of Home Alone, the setting the trap montages (and every MacGyver and A-Team episode ever produced )
One of the great films about the artistic process is THE HORSE'S MOUTH, with a brilliant Alec Guinness as the reprobate modernist Gulley Jimson.
The score is a wonderfully re-conceived use of Prokofiev's Lt. Kije suite (originally written for a Russian movie, and well-known in Classical circles), as adapted by Kenneth V. Jones. I can't recall if any particular music actually accompanies the making of art in the movie, but the whole movie is suffused with the subject. The first moments of the suite perfectly encapsulate the effect of the score in the film.

Interesting. I always thought the scoring of a "process" would be unique to film but I wonder if, say, there are operas or other classical works that pre-date this. There must be.
