The 4th movement in Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique involving the "artist" getting an overdose of opium, causing him to hallucinate that he killed his beloved (Harriet Smithson) and then later, he gets marched to the guillotine where his head gets chopped off. At around 4:30, there are three chords, representing his head being chopped off and bouncing on the ground.
