It was confirmed today, that Carter Burwell will NOT be composing the score for New Moon. Alexander Desplat is composing in Carter's place. This raises the question, will Chris Weitz and Alexander Desplat use the lullaby Carter composed?
In my personal opinion, I really think it's better if they keep the same lullaby. Alot of 팬 may disagree. And I agree to an extent, it did not sound like a lullaby. But, during the lullaby scene when they were in the trees, there was a 피아노 melody solo. If they kept that melody, but expanded it 또는 made it 더 많이 complex, it would sound 더 많이 like a lullaby. And they could keep the continuity.
What do 당신 guys think?

The 답변 Feature is meant for FACTUAL 질문 only. I have seen other spots and it seems to me that the Twilight Spot is a perfect example for wrongly placed questions.
I'm just stating a concern and hope that i helped a small bit. Here is a great 기사 의해 Cinders, from the 팬팝 Etiquette spot that does a great job explaining the 답변 Feature.
