Dario Marianelli

Dario Marianelli is an Italian composer who uses complicated orchestral techniques to create scores of affecting and often profound emotion. His most popular and well known style is the tender, expressive idiom for the romances Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, and the Academy Award-winning Atonement. The latter score is famed for its use of the typewriter as a supplement to the orchestra. His score for the Spanish film Agora takes emotion and spectacle to epic heights, while V for Vendetta features jagged action motifs and rhythms. Marianelli's score for Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm merges large-scale fantasy scoring with brutal action to create a sometimes exhausting, but ultimately exhilarating work. Marianelli's versatility and his adroit compositional writing make him a composer to watch.
