British costume drama and literary adaptation

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre

British costume drama and literary adaptation · From the mid-1980s British film adaptations of classic novels and plays became an international success. Merchant Ivory made A Room with a View (1985) with arias by Puccini and music by Richard Robbins. Kenneth Branagh filmed Henry V (1989) again, with music by Patrick Doyle. His ‘Non nobis, Domine’ begins with one voice and grows into a large choir with orchestra. For Emma (1996) Rachel Portman wrote light, dancing music and became the first woman to win an Oscar for film music. In Atonement (2007) Dario Marianelli worked the clatter of a typewriter into the score.
