"Bella’s Lullaby" Sheet Music from the Movie Twilight
July 12th, 2009 by Reb
For all the Twilight fans out there!
First of all, I need to praise the music director’s outstanding taste for this movie. Maybe it’s because this whole vampire thing is you know, ancient and stuff.
There were a few moments in the movie that really caught me (well despite everything that was going on…)
Remember what Edward had in his CD player when Bella visited? Yes, Debussy’s Clair de Lune, which I posted here a while ago having absolutely no idea it was included in Twilight.
And of course, the highlight of the movie, where Edward plays Bella’s lullaby. And when I say play, I really meant PLAY, since Rob Pattinson who plays Edward Cullen, actually played it himself. That is quite unusual in movies since actors would usually “fake” their music talents, if they have any written in for the story lines. But Rob, being the talented musician and all that, managed this job quite easily. It always makes me excited to see real musicians play real stuff on rather fictionized materials (you know, the whole vampire stuff again)
Anyways, there were also rumours of this magical moment being Yiruma’s River Flows In You which I already have it posted HERE, just in case anyone was looking for it =)
Here are 2 REAL versions of “Bella’s Lullaby” that moved everyone’s heart, including dear Bella’s =D
#1. A beautiful piano arrangement that sounds exactly like the movie. (Arranged by Kat)
Here it is on Youtube.
#2. The official Bella’s Lullaby from the Twilight Movie, written by Carter Burwell.
Here it is on Youtube.
Carter’s Notes
"Bella’s Lullaby," as it appears in this film, was not written to be a lullaby but to speak of love – ecstatic, tormented love.
"And so this unnamed tune became Bella’s Lullaby. It’s worth noting, though, that neither Catherine nor I ever called it that. We always referred to this tune as the "Love Theme" and I think it makes much more sense if you think of it this way. It’s more complex and emotional than any lullaby I’ve ever heard."
"My concern, as a composer, is to make the film as a whole compelling, dramatic, emotional and cinematic. But in this case other extraneous concerns quickly started to pile on, all driven by the fans of the book. The piano scene was added because Summit realized fans wanted to hear Edward play the melody referred to as "Bella’s Lullaby," and each of those fans has their own idea of the tune. Because I hadn’t started writing yet there was a musical vacuum into which other music started to be pulled. Rob improvised a tune for the shoot. Matthew Bellamy, of Muse, sent in his idea of "Bella’s Lullaby." And countless readers and musicians sent in their own ideas or posted them on the internet. None of this made my job easier."
"…I think part of the problem was that Catherine and I saw this as Bella and Edward’s "Love Theme" whereas he saw it as "Bella’s Lullaby." And indeed, for the 30 seconds during which Edward is playing piano it is the "Lullaby." But the theme also has to play the romance that drives the story, and I thought that was a much more important role."

i love the chemistry between Kirsten Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Twlight will always be one of the best vampire-love story movies.

Hey. Thank you so much for posting this! Only problem is that when I print it out, it comes out on quarter of the page, and when I try to maximize the size, it comes out pixellated. Is there any way you can e-mail me the original scans? dondubhan@gmail.com
I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks again.

Thanks for posting this. This song got me through some really tough times. There were some days when i would struggle just to get out of bed but i would listen to this song and it would give me an unfounded strength to get up and go on with my life. It touched me in ways most people will probably never understand. I really appreciate it. Delyshia

Hello.
My name is Sophie. I play the piano all the time, but there is something missing, this song. I DEFENITLY have to learn this song. Could you possibly send me the sheets on mail? I’ve tried different types of learning it, like on youtube, but its cind of hard to keep up, since its so many different keys, and it is a long melody. So, i wondered if you could send me Bella’s lullaby sheet music on mail. If that is possible.

March 8th, 2010 at 10:29 am
The twilight saga are amazing right? =)
They just rock and robert is from britain!!! it’s a great influence to young budding actors to have such amazing role models and it just gives you hope that people from small places really can make it big. The books really helped me escape the troubles i was faced with they helped me cope through the times i was in therapy and just relaxed me from the world if you havnt read midnight sun i would strongly recomend it! go to stephenie meyers official page and its posted there !

Eclipse comes out on the 30th of june omg my birthday its fate :Lx
Thanks soo much for the sheet music and this website is geniouse!
All of the cast are amazing they couldnt find better characters its great that they choose relative new comers and minor rolers to be the main roles in the saga i mean jacob was in cheaper by the dozen, edward was in harry potter, kristen was in mission withought permision when they were all younger

I love this song, It truly inspires me. I get a feeling everytime I listen to it. It takes me out of the sour mood I may be in and it repaces it with joy and relief! I love this song, however, it doe seem to be missing DYNAMICS and a bit of rhytmn.
I still LOVE it and play it every morning to start off my day,Carter, you are truly a genuis. I would also like to know if you have written anymore pieces of music! If you have go ahead and send me an E-mail! Thanks so much,
