Program NotesA Boston Musica Viva commission -Review by Elisa Birdseye, the Boston Musical Intelligencer: “The title of the program derived from the world premier centerpiece of the evening, Laura Elise Schwendinger’s Mise-en-scene 2011). But it also provided a context for the other pieces on the program. Schwendinger explained before the performance that mise-en-scene refers to all the elements, lighting, sound, props, stagecraft, etc which create the feel and image seen in either a theater piece or a film. Her work, in nine short, continuously played movements, described a story, and even without program notes, it would have been possible to imagine what was going on onstage. She described her music as “zany,” but perhaps another term would be “looney” in the sense of the fiendishly difficult and evocative music by Carl Stallings that underpinned the familiar Looney Tunes cartoons. Schwendinger’s music was clear, delightful, and descriptive, almost an opera without words."
