Career

Marianelli was born in Pisa, Italy. He came from a musically inclined family and learned the piano at a young age. He studied piano and composition in Florence and London. After a year as a postgraduate composer at the Guildhall School of Music, he took up a 3-year post-graduate program at the National Film and Television School in London, from which he graduated in 1997. During his time there, he also undertook diverse projects, composing for concerts, contemporary ballet and theatre productions. Marianelli had already by then put his name to several scores for films and TV projects, including movies such as Ailsa and Pandaemonium when he caught the eye of director Joe Wright who would later contact Marianelli to score his 2005 film Pride & Prejudice.[1] The duo would then go on to work on Wright's subsequent films which includes Atonement, The Soloist, Anna Karenina, and Darkest Hour.[2]

In 2008, Marianelli won both the Academy Award for Original Music Score and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score for his score on Atonement. His other Academy Award nominations are for Pride & Prejudice and Anna Karenina.

In 2018, Marianelli composed the score for Bumblebee, the sixth installment in the Transformers film series. This was his second score with director Travis Knight after Kubo and the Two Strings.

Over the years Marianelli has continued to write concert, theatre and ballet music.

In a 2019 article concerning film composing, Marianelli said: "Writing music professionally is a hard occupation, and writing for media definitely not for the fainthearted. One has to be able to enjoy the pain, in order to be able to carry on successfully. I think one of the hardest things to deal with, working as a composer involved in media, is the anxiety that comes from being in quite a vulnerable position."[3]
