OH MY GOODNESS!!! A musical question!!! I LOVE these kinds of questions!!! XD

I do not like the first movie score (too much rock, not enough classical-contemporary), but if I had to pick a score from it, it would be "Bella's Lullaby". It's fun to play on the violin, though it varies in keys, and it's sort of sweet, better than the character the lullaby is for. I love love LOVE the New Moon score, and I can play "New Moon" on the violin and a little bit on the piano. In fact, my orchestra class voted for me as Most Likely To Be The Next Alexandre Desplat, LOL. I should compose movie scores in the future. But to play in an orchestra for the score of a Twilight movie...that's a sweet, sweet dream of mine. I love just about every piece on the New Moon score. It was tear-jerking (but I'm just a softie when it comes to music anyway, as a musician myself) and overall very poignant and sort of tragic too. As for the Eclipse score, I love love LOVE that one, as well! I like how in The Kiss you can hear both Jacob's Theme and Bella's Theme, working with each other, complementing each other. I love the big battle scene music more than the softer music, but whatever. I'm just a huge fan of the big orchestra arrangements rather than the solo piano compositions. I love to hear the strings more than anything! The Twilight score as a whole wasn't a favorite of mine, but I didn't hate it. It just had too much rock elements for my liking, even though the soundtrack was full of rock songs so the score should have just had more classical, but that's just my opinion. The New Moon score as a whole was full of the heartache that the movie had, and it was so beautiful at times that I wanted to cry. The music (soundtrack and score) of New Moon was just plain awesome. And the Eclipse score as a whole had the big dramatic pieces as well as the softer, emotional pieces. I just LOVE "Wedding Plans"! It is so driving and it makes my heart flutter. I can play some of that on the violin too. :) Most importantly, the Eclipse score was classical-contemporary, the way I think all the Twilight movie scores should be because the soundtracks are just stocked with indie tracks anyway. Why have an indie rock soundtrack with a rock score? That's a little too much. Don't get me wrong, I love indie rock and all, but...uh, yeah. I don't really like it in the score as well as the soundtrack.

Great question, EdwardCu11enRocks!
