The Conductor

Confident with your back to the audience. Tremolo strings begin with your gesturing wrist. Start the orchestra slow with an elegant aire, Then a circular sweep crescendoing swell. Leo Slatkin, Dohnanyi, Previne, Depaur

Your arms are calling out, They wave like a swarm of sound. You pull the sound from scores of notes, You step the stage and take control.

You're conducting verese in a moment of silence. Your body directs a pulse of wind. Von Karajan, Hampton, Menuhin, Levine

Your arms are calling out, They wave like a swarm of sound. You pull the sound from scores of notes, You step the stage and take control.
