Carter Burwell composed and orchestrated the score for Twilight over a 9- to 10-week period, and it was recorded and mixed in about 2 weeks in late September 2008. [84] He began the score with a "Love Theme" for Bella and Edward's relationship, a variation of which became "Bella's Lullaby" that Robert Pattinson plays in the film and that is included on the Twilight Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. [84] The original theme is featured throughout the film, and serves to "play the romance that drives the story". [84] Another theme Burwell composed was a "Predator Theme", which opens the film, and is intended to play Edward's vampire nature. [84] Other themes include a bass-line, drum beat and distorted guitar sound for the nomadic vampires, and a melody for the Cullen family. [84] Twilight: The Score was released digitally on November 25, 2008, and in stores on December 9. [8] The score album had sold 218,000 copies in the United States as of June 2010. [85]
