For Joe Wright’s Winston Churchill wartime drama, the director initially suggested solo piano but also, composer Marianelli says, “great propulsion, great momentum forward,” all conveying “the sense of restlessness of the man.” Enter world-class soloist Vikingur Olafsson. The Icelandic pianist was “particularly versed in minimalism, with an expressiveness that wasn’t remotely romantic,” Marianelli says. He quickly expanded the scope of the score to be more fully orchestral.

Rhythmic use of strings permeates “Darkest Hour,” with short motifs that act as “signposts, trying to mark the way or show you where you might be going,” Marianelli says. One associated specifically with Churchill, another a “buildup to war, a vaguely militaristic musical idea with drums and brass.”

Toughest of all was underscoring Churchill’s final, inspirational “we shall fight” speech, rousing the British to war: “It was six or seven minutes. You start from almost nothing and you build and build.” Worth noting: Marianelli already has an Oscar for “Atonement” and two additional nominations, all for Wright films.
