The 1997 film Mr. Atlas is the story of young Danny Nielsen (T.J. Lowther), still
broken from the untimely death of his parents, who goes for a bike ride in the hills
one day and unwittingly falls into a magical cave. Unable to find his way out, he
begins to cry. When Danny’s tears touch the wall of the cave, an ancient curse is
broken—a curse which has imprisoned the Greek Titan Atlas (Diederik van
Nederveen) in stone for 2000 years. After an earth-shattering entrance, Atlas
pledges his absolute devotion to Danny and the two become inseparable friends.
Mr. Atlas provided a broad range of character elements with which composer Terry
Plumeri could work. In addition to the world of a young boy, there was fantasy, acts
of the superhero, friendship, love, tongue-in-cheek comedy, deviousness and
serious drama – which almost ends in tragedy. The simplistic world of the child
asked for a less-sophisticated harmonic and melodic vocabulary, whereas the
super-heroic acts of Atlas required a more majestic orchestration, as well as a
vocabulary which conveyed an increase in harmonic and melodic intensity. The
dynamic music was thrillingly performed by the Moscow Philharmonic.
