The Faint - The conductor • correction
english
Confident with your back to the audience...
Tremolo strings begin with your gesturing wrist.
Start the orchestra slow with an elegant air,
Then a circular sweep crescendoing swell...
Leo Slatkin, Dohnányi, Previn, DePaur.
refrain:
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
refrain
Those 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.
