The conductor

The conductor Lyrics

confident with your back to the audience.
tremelo 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 conduction vere'se 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.
control.
