Composer
Carter Burwell has a wonderful section on his website where he tells
the whole story behind “Bella’s Lullaby”, the song he wrote for Twilight
back in 2008. He also talks about Rob being chosen to play the piece in
the film. "I came to Oregon to meet Catherine Hardwicke and see some of
the film she was shooting, Twilight. She mentioned that the producing
company, Summit Entertainment, had just requested that a new scene be
added to the film. The scene existed in the novel but hadn’t originally
been part of the screenplay (films are not one-to-one translations of
books).
In
this scene Edward would play piano for Bella. I wasn’t officially
working on the film at that point and they didn’t know what Rob
Pattinson (Edward) should play during the shoot. This is not an unusual
situation – many films have an actor sitting at a keyboard, swaying back
and forth, pretending to play music that was only written after the
film has been shot and edited. This case was unusual in that Rob is a
fine musician, and fully capable of playing the piano or probably any
other instrument."
He also discusses Summit’s desire to change his composition to fit the target audience.
"The
suggestion that teenage girls would want a sweet tune was somewhat
condescending, and that was something I tried to avoid in this score.
Also I don’t believe it’s possible to know how music will affect someone
else, even though film composers claim to. The unpredicability is what
makes it interesting (although I understand that’s not what the
investors want to hear). And can you imagine what it would be like – as
it was occasionally on this project – trying to compose music to satisfy
a director who’s trying to satisfy a male executive who’s trying to
satisfy ten million teenage girls?"
