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 conducting verese in a moment of silence,
Your body directs a pulse of wind,
Von Karahan, 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.
