Within the actual novel itself Frankenstein has very little to do with music at all. It's never mentioned beyond being used as a metaphor for descriptions of noises.
However, there are some pieces of music that match the novel's dark, gothic theme. One such exampel is Dragula, by Rob Zomibe. The piece of music discusses how the singer is a force of destruction and misery upon the world. He is "strangling the breeze", just as the monster killed William. The singer is also "watching angels cry" as the monster inflicts pain and suffering upon normally virtuous people. Rob Zombie is "the pool/spreading from the fool", similar to the monster spreading death and destruction from Frankensteins mistake.
