Faint 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 ver'ese 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
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, control, control
Control, control, control
Control, control, control
