The opening scene of Pixar’s Up is an extraordinary animated sequence. Reminiscent of a home movie, it is a touching montage that chronicles the entire marriage of Carl and Ellie Fredricksen, from the day they first met till the day of Ellie’s death. The scene contains no dialogue, only images and music, and its brilliance lies in its power to emotionally connect the viewer to Carl, while allowing us to personally reflect on the fragility and fleeting beauty of life, love, and the human experience.

Composer Michael Giacchino perfectly captures the sentiment and poignancy of this scene with a waltz that, upon request of director Pete Doctor, “plays as if from one’s grandmother’s music box.”

Married Life contains two primary themes that represent Carl and Ellie. Throughout the piece these themes are passed from one instrument to the next, explored in various textures, timbres, and instrumental combinations, and carried through a variety of tempi, dynamics, and harmonies. The music is beautiful, wistful, full of melancholy, and subtly alludes to the ragtime and jazz influenced music of tin pan alley.
