My only complaint is that it's too short. Many of the songs are variations on Bella's Lullaby, but using of only piano and violin instead of a full orchestra is a great improvement. I loved this CD.

Such a prince is more fascinating than frightening to new girl Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), who moves to the rainy-gray town of Forks, Wash., to live with her dad (Billy Burke), the local sheriff who's puzzled by a series of "animal attacks."

Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen), Twilight is full of funny moments--not all of which are intentional--and the casting, from Stewart to Bella's self-absorbed friend Jessica (Anna Kendrick) is spot-on. <br /> This is a brand new eight movement work for piano and violin based on Carter Burwell’s original score to the 2008 film version of Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling vampire romance TWILIGHT,
