The Atonement soundtrack, released in 2007 by Decca Records, is a hauntingly inventive score by Dario Marianelli for Joe Wright’s Academy Award–winning adaptation of Ian McEwan’s novel, starring Keira Knightley, James McAvoy, Saoirse Ronan, Brenda Blethyn, and Vanessa Redgrave. Marianelli’s music is famous for its integration of the typewriter as a percussive instrument, symbolizing Briony Tallis’ narration and imagination, which drives the story’s tragic arc.

The score blends lush orchestral writing with minimalist repetition, often performed by the English Chamber Orchestra, and ranges from sweeping romantic passages in “Elegy for Dunkirk” to taut rhythmic energy in “Briony,” “Cee, You and Tea,” and “Denouement.” The album earned Marianelli the Academy Award for Best Original Score and a Golden Globe Award, cementing its place as one of the standout film scores of the 2000s.
