Cue By Cue: Film Music Narratives: The Matrix Reloaded (Davis, 2003)

After the success of "The Matrix", it was natural for the Wachowski's to have Don Davis do the music for the sequels. Due to the massive amount of music required for the sequels as well as the video game "Enter the Matrix" and the "Animatrix" (animated tie-in short stories), Davis' compositions were largely orchestrated by Erik Lundborg (who essentially created the "Enter the Matrix" material from Davis' themes and sketches) and Conrad Pope. A few sequences were solely orchestrated by Davis himself ("Main Title", "Trinity vs Car", the original "Chateau" and the original "Burly Brawl").

For "The Matrix Reloaded", Davis collaborated with the orchestral/electronica group Juno Reactor (Ben Watkins) on two of the major action sequences. Another highlight is the development of the Trinity Love theme, as well as some beautiful choral textures (such as in the "Corridor theme"). Several other themes/motifs also returning from the first Matrix score include the Matrix ostinato pattern, the "Fast-forward" fanfare, the "Rising Power" motif, the "One" motif, variations of the "Mission" theme, metallic whistling and of course reflective brass motifs (basically every theme mentioned in the introduction to my post on "The Matrix"). A tremolo brass figure from the first score's "Dodge This" cue also appears here several times as a motif. A new melodic figure which I hesitantly call the "Morpheus motif" is heard in several different forms (almost more like a Morpheus scale, since it has many versions). Other new themes include the previously-mentioned "Corridor" texture, a 7-note Machine "Digger motif", a piano arpeggio motif, the Zion Defense theme, and the Burly Brawl motif. Some of these and other themes would get further developed in the immediately following film, "The Matrix Revolutions".

Tim Grieving notes in the liner notes to the Limited Edition Lala Land CD that the choral elements can sometimes be categorized as the singing souls of "humanity" ("The Wonder of Zion", "Link and Zee", "Morpheus on the Mount"), or as the urging voices of "Gods" ("The Purpose that Created Us", "Burly Brawl", "Final Flight of the Vigilant", "Neo Miraculous"). In my notes below I sometimes characterize the "humanity" choral elements as "ethereal". In the choral cues which Grieving lists as from the "Gods", the voices sound something like Orff's "Carmina Burana" or Verdi's "Requiem, Dies Irae", I suppose.

The Limited Edition Lala Land score release also includes as bonus tracks the original "Burly Brawl" (prior to Juno Reactor/Ben Watkins' contribution), and the original "Chateau" (used as a temporary track, in case Rob Dougan's song was unavailable). A couple other tracks also appear here without the electronic rock overlays which were heard in the film ("Free Flight", "Double Trouble").

String arpeggios and choral Rising Power figures lead back to synthesizer and then electronic beats). 3:57: A knocked down Smith decides he needs: "More..." (a timpani roll signals faster string figures and an increase in tempo). 4:30: Neo spins around the pole sideways to repel dozens of Smiths (swirling winds, increasing bass, tempo, etc...). 4:55: Neo is pinned beneath a mountain of Smiths (variation of Rising Power motif on brass). 5:19: Neo throws them off and decides to fly away, leaving behind a crowd of Smiths, slowly dispersing (brass Fast-forward motifs into Agent snarls).

Eventually Trinity shakes off the Agent and Morpheus ejects the Twin (previous texture resumes, then with more development). 5:51: Trinity turns off the freeway onto a bridge overpass. She and the Keymaker leap off the overpass and land on a truck flatbed carrying motorcycles. Morpheus dispatches the Twins' car with a sword and automatic fire (brief relaxation of rhythm, then building strings leading to a choral/high pulsing synth motif ("flying bike motif"), followed by a brief chanted choral figure ("Kyrie eleison!") and then more dramatic brass figures). 7:03: With the Keymaker's help, Trinity starts a motorcycle.
