This score does not disappoint. If you're a fan of the film, then the score is a wonderful way of taking the movie with you, so to speak. From the opening scenes ("How I Would Die") to the breathtaking conclusion ("Edward at her Bed"), this score covers the various moods, emotions, suspense and romance of the film. To truly get the full musical experience of the film, you really would want to get this and the original soundtrack because these two go hand-in-hand.
Amidst all the darkness is a slightly dissonant piano motif representing the love of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. This piano motif can be heard numerous times throughout the score, though the most obvious (and beautiful) usage is in the track entitled Bella’s Lullaby, which would appear to be the gem of this entire album. In the film and novel, the lullaby is supposedly written and played for Bella by her vampire lover. Its dark, tormented sound, is certainly quite gorgeous and moving, and is the highlight of the score as presented here.
But I seem to detect a hint of loneliness in there. Could me be just me?
