Lyrics
The Conductor
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Control
