The Conductor

The Conductor

(album: Danse Macabre - 2001)

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.

Control...
