вЂњUp to that point, IвЂ™d been working mainly on moody, atmospheric scores, so his first question was, could I write fast music?вЂќД«ut of all MarianelliвЂ™s 20-or-more screen scores, Pride And Prejudice has given him the greatest scope to explore classical repertory. вЂњTerry called me up after hearing In This World,вЂќ Marianelli says. Since then, heвЂ™s written melancholic scores for BAFTA-winning films, including Michael WinterbottomвЂ™s In This World and Asif KapadiaвЂ™s The Warrior, which has opened the door to more recent projects such as Terry GilliamвЂ™s soon-to-be-released adventure movie, The Brothers Grimm. After training as a pianist at his local school and taking lessons in counterpoint and polyphony, Marianelli moved to London, studying film composition at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the National Film and Television School. вЂњBeethoven was one of the most innovative composers of Jane AustenвЂ™s time, so heвЂ™s suited to ElizabethвЂ™s forward-thinking character.вЂќ Marianelli adds that, as a pianist himself, other composers naturally infiltrated his style.Д«orn in Pisa, he was raised on a diet of Debussy and Wagner, regularly visiting the opera in Florence and Milan with his parents. His finest writing emerges in two pivotal piano themes вЂ“ the first heard during the filmвЂ™s opening shots of English countryside at dawn, the second for piano and orchestra as Elizabeth reflects upon a sculpture of Darcy at his family home. Marianelli obliges with a 19th-century pastiche for orchestra and piano thatвЂ™s redolent of BeethovenвЂ™s early piano sonatas, as well as borrowing from the more florid rhetoric of Chopin, Brahms and Ravel. Indeed, most cues point to the piano in AustenвЂ™s Pride And Prejudice, not least because Elizabeth and Georgia, DarcyвЂ™s sister, both play. The soundtrack that accompanies this all-star cast features French virtuoso pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, conductor Benjamin Wallfisch and the English Chamber Orchestra.
