Twilight Soundtrack Orchestra

[Jessica Wilson]

Thesoundtrack was chosen by music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas;[4] while the score, Twilight: The Score, was composed by Carter Burwell.[5] The soundtrack album was released by Patsavas' Chop Shop label in conjunction with Atlantic Records.[6] It debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, having sold about 165,000 copies in its first week of release, 29% of which were digital downloads.[7] Twilight: The Score was made available for digital download on November 25, 2008, and the album was released to stores on December 9, 2008.[8]

Twilight is the best-selling theatrical movie soundtrack in the United States since Chicago.[9] Both the soundtrack and the lead single, "Decode" by Paramore, were nominated for the 2010 Grammy Awards.[10]

Director Catherine Hardwicke revealed in an interview with MTV that a song by alternative rock band Muse, later revealed to be "Supermassive Black Hole", would be included on the film's soundtrack.[11] The soundtrack includes two songs by Paramore,[6] a new song by Mutemath, and an original song for the film by Perry Farrell.[12] "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" by Iron & Wine was chosen for inclusion in the movie by actress Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella Swan.[13] The soundtrack won a 2009 American Music Award for Favorite Soundtrack.[14]

The CD booklet on the physical CD folds out into one of four Twilight posters.[15] Hot Topic locations across the United States hosted exclusive Twilight soundtrack listening parties on October 24.[16] Albums bought at Borders bookstores feature an acoustic version of Paramore's "Decode".[17] Summit Entertainment provided a free remix of "Bella's Lullaby" through iTunes, with the purchase of a Twilight theatre ticket through online ticket services Fandango or MovieTickets.com.[18]

The soundtrack peaked at number one in New Zealand on February 9, 2009, and has been certified platinum, selling over 15,000 copies.[31][32] The album has been certified gold in Mexico, selling over 50,000 copies.[33][34]

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]

The score for Twilight Princess was composed by Toru Minegishi, Asuka Ohta, and Kōji Kondō. Minegishi headed music composition and sound design, providing all field and dungeon music under the supervision of Kondo. For the E3 trailer, Michiru Oshima created three pieces of orchestral arrangements written by different composers, although only one piece, by Mahito Yokota, was used. Working on the trailer prompted Kondo to consider using orchestral music for the game as well. He envisioned a full orchestra for action sequences and a string quartet for "lyrical moments".

In the past, Kondo had always waited until he could observe the gameplay of a title before composing the score to ensure that they meshed well. When the trailer for E3 was created however, gameplay development had not progressed enough for Kondō to decide if an orchestra would be feasible. In the end, the final product used sequenced music instead. Kondo later cited the lack of interactivity that comes with orchestral music as one of the main reasons for the decision. Minegishi followed Kondo's example of matching the score to the gameplay, and created music to elicit the feeling of melancholy he observed. As Link begins to save Hyrule from the effects of the Twilight Realm, the music takes on a more relaxed mood.

Due to the soundtrack containing only seven tracks, fans have created their own unofficial soundtracks by ripping music data from the game disc and uploading them to peer-to-peer file sharing web sites, with some containing over 200 tracks.

Four mp3s are hidden on Nintendo's official Twilight Princess website, one of which is not featured on the Nintendo Power soundtrack, and is called "Twilight Princess Orchestra (Don't Want You No More) (Bonus Track)", also known as "The Legend of Zelda: Orchestra Piece #1". This is the same track that plays during the attract video that plays after waiting through the title screen. The other three tracks are "Orchestra Piece #2", "Hyrule Field Main Theme", and "Ordon Village".

Unified Manufacturing makes the Limited Edition CD TWILIGHT SYMPHONY, which contains three and a half hours of orchestral arrangements based on the music from the famous action-adventure video game THE LEGEND OF ZELDA.

We manufactured 3,000 3-disc 8-panel digipaks complete with a booklet insert and a CD sleeve. This is the second run of the physical album since the first one, only 1,000 pieces- 500 given to Kickstarter backers and 500 sold to the public, sold-out very fast and many fans are requesting for more copies. What's wonderful is that it was sold-out before we even finished making them. Just proves to show how crazy the fans are over the Twilight Symphony Album.

TWILIGHT SYMPHONY, composed and performed by the musical talents behind ZREO, contains three and a half hours of complete orchestral arrangements based on the unreleased soundtrack to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The new album is comprised of over 40 tracks and clocks in at around two and a half hours of Twilight Princess music.

Beginning life as a Kickstarter project, Twilight Symphony mixes samples and orchestral performances to expand on the original soundtrack of the game, composed by Koji Kondo, Toru Minegishi, and Asuka Ota. The original score was digital, largely due to the inflexibility of recording live instruments to score the game.

The soundtrack was both a commercial and criticalsuccess, debuting at No 1 on the Billboard 200 and receiving Grammy nominationsfor both the score and its lead single, performed by Paramore.

From Bram Stoker to Anne Rice, fantasy fiction writershave typically portrayed vampires as creative and cultured, creatures withsuper-human musical abilities forged through centuries of practice. WithTwilight Meyer takes the idea of the virtuoso vampire one step further, makingEdwardu2019s musicality an integral part of his appeal. In a scene only added tothe movie at the fans request, Edward impresses Bella by playing the melodyu2018Bellau2019s Lullabyu2019 on a dusty old piano. Burwellu2019s haunting but subtly upliftingmelody became the basis for the rest of the filmu2019s soundtrack which now, forthe first time, will be performed by a full live orchestra in perfectsynchronicity with the motion picture.

The 3-disc soundtrack, which is an orchestral arrangement of music from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, is only available in limited quantities - only 1,000 physical copies available, 500 of which are already gone.

I would have really liked this but... 3 CD's shouldn't be quite that much. Not too disappointed I missed out on this one, even though I am a college trained musician who loves Zelda music very much. I''m sure we can find the tracks for free online somewhere in the not so distant future.

Were you a $50 and up Kickstarter or ChipIn backer? Kooloo-Limpah! Your order is already accounted for and will be among the first shipped... and and and, your name is in the booklet! Thank you for your support!

@Late: It was weird, the first time I could order it and I added it to my cart. I then thought about it for a little bit and decided to go for it. The site said sold out but I had 1 item in my cart though. so it let me order it.

To my fellow commenters:

You guys realize that this group had made "reorchestrated" stuff for the other games, right? This is just their first time creating it with a full orchestra, thus accounting for the high price. If you look up Zreo, you'll see that they have some of their older material available for free on their website.
