Twilight, Travel, and Treats

Reflections of a Twihard on all things twilight, travel, and treats.

I finally got the chance to see La La Land and absolutely loved it. Not just because I have loved Ryan Gosling since The Notebook but because the music was fantastic. All the songs were stuck in my head for days and hence I had to find some piano sheets to get it out of my system.

I love the medley below arranged by Elizabeth Hall. Has everything but not too fancy and was buried amidst a bunch of other YouTube posts for La La Land.

Enjoy!

You all know I love Carter Burwell's Twilight songs because they are so friendly for us amateur pianists.

Here's the latest theme from Breaking Dawn Part 2 - Plus Que Ma Propre Vie


Obviously that one's full orchestra but it has Renesmee's lullaby in the beginning.

I like the song mostly because I like watching Edward play the piano.



Thankfully, there's a great piano cover done by Mercuzio who has provided free sheet music (if you take two seconds to register at the free site sonicbands) so if you're looking for sheet music for either Renesmee's lullaby or Plus Que Ma Propre Vie you're in luck.
Just register at the Sonicbands site and then in the search type in Carter Burwell and you should see Plus Que Ma Propre Vie is the third song down the list. Tip - just in case the site's in Italian the "change language to English" button is bottom left.


Will be adding it to the other piano music links listed...

I found this free sheet music from the Twilight soundtrack - it's just an excerpt but still cool.

So in hunting down free Hunger Games soundtrack music I came across this wonderful blog called My-Pianolicious which is a huge repository of free sheet music.

Here are some links to free Breaking Dawn soundtrack sheet music.

Have fun!

I'm putting these onto a Sheet Music Page for this blog including Twilight and Hunger Games music as well.

I've also included it in the Fifty Shades of Grey Master page up top.

In re-reading Master of the Universe for this quiz and for the MotU Tribute site I made a note of the piano music that Edward plays for Bella.
There are links to the songs on the tribute site under soundtrack with a link to iTunes. Thanks to Hoot for her hard work getting the playlist set up for everyone. In fact, that woman is a force of nature putting that whole site together :)
On there are links to the free sheet music but here they are again in case you missed them. Just a note that there are actually only two songs ever mentioned by name that Edward plays on the piano.

Chapter 51
Chopin's Opus 28, number 4, in E minor

Happy playing!

Rob's fingers inspire me
By the way all the sheet music below is listed on my Sheet Music page for this blog. I've also included Breaking Dawn, Hunger Games, etc.
This post is truncated. It was a helluva lot longer but then wordpress lost it. I am so pissed off that I could cry or scream my guts out. Regardless, this one will be short. Minimal witty monologue.
Anyways, this post is basically about twilight piano sheet music. If I hadn't discovered it my piano would still be collecting dust. All those years of lessons would be wasted just like my sisters. And, no, I don't blame her because I wasted all the chinese school lessons and she has beautiful writing.

I still picture the Yiruma music (Rivers Flows in You) as the first song I heard original twilight book Edward playing as Bella's Lullaby.

Old fan montage on Youtube


Here's the Yiruma sheet music

Since I ended up caving in and actually liking Carter Burwell's Bella's Lullaby I had to download the sheet music for it too.

Bella's Lullaby page 1


Bella's Lullaby page 2


The official sheet music book finally came out.


Of course I had to get the Easy Piano and Piano Solo versions of Twilight: The Score just in case I was having a lazy day. I haven't been brave enough to buy the Piano/Vocal/Guitar version of the soundtrack though.

Twilight Soundtrack Piano/Vocal/Guitar


I just don't think I could do Muse or Paramore justice with my piano and singing voice on my own.

Time passed and I think my family became officially sick of twilight music a long time ago. Good thing I got to mix it up a bit when the New Moon soundtrack came out. The only instrumental to play on there was The Meadow so here's the unofficial sheet music I found (this was the best version). You'll have to scroll down to the bottom of the arrangers page for the links but it's worth it.

The Meadow: Arranged by Fouad Tadros


I'm sure my family is sick of that song now too.

But you know what? Tomorrow, I'm getting (drumroll)...

New Moon Piano Solo


Yeah for another book! I'm sure I'll be filled with angst and despair the whole time that I'm playing it. Leave it to New Moon to always make me feel so depressed I want to kill either myself or Bella (never Edward. No, never him, even though it's his stupid ass that causes the whole clusterf*ck in the first place).

I will not be getting this.

New Moon Soundtrack Piano/Vocal/Guitar


I love some of these songs, don't get me wrong. Like the Monsters song. My kids love the Monsters song and I love how all I see is Rob in slow motion every time it's playing.



But once again, there is no way I'll be able to play the songs well enough. It would just be degrading and make me miserable to try.

So for all of you who had music lessons as a child but haven't touched your piano in years, just print out the music from the links above. Sit down and try. See he's doing it, why can't you? It will make him happy.
