...were exquisite. Amanda C. Lynch ’10, the black swan, danced almost flawlessly. In addition to her beautiful leaps and turns, Lynch also skillfully held every position as if she were posing for a picture. She provided a stunning ending to the “Swan Lake?? half of the show. After the intermission, “The Dying Swan,” performed by Derek S. Mueller ’10 and “courtesy of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals,” soured the show. Dressed in an outrageous swan tutu, Mueller pranced...

The mood becomes increasingly raucous and festive later on as the orchestra imitates marching bands through familiar-sounding (yet completely original) tunes that Adams has concocted. The remaining two movements, “The Lake?? and “The Mountain,” are more conventional musical paintings of landscape. The music here is generic and forgettable. In fact, in “The Mountain,” with its repetitive ostinatos and zigzagging string lines occasionally punctuated with brass and bells...
