According to Soundtracks Examiner Mark Morton,
the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 by
Carter Burwell is number one in the Top Ten
Best Film Scores/Soundtracks of 2011.
1. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1, composed by Carter Burwell (Atlantic)
"Go ahead, call me a sellout. But I don’t think Carter Burwell has ever
been given his due for his enormous contributions to film music. And the
man continues to plow forward as one of the most creative minds in
compositional minimalism as well as full-bodied orchestration. While he
was probably disqualified for nomination at this year’s Academy Awards
for Breaking Dawn – Part 1 because it was anchored heavily to the
original Twilight score, his work was no less remarkable. I would go so
far as to say that it was actually better than the original, given that,
although he laid the original template for the Twilight sound, he was
coming back into the fold on the heels of critical heavyweights
Alexandre Desplat (with whom the Academy also bears an unspoken beef)
and Howard Shore. Burwell fearlessly picked up the baton and ran with
it, giving us a romantic score easily on par with Nino Rota’s Romeo
& Juliet (which was also unceremoniously snubbed by the Academy in
1969)."
