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, Dohnanyi, Previn, 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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Control.
