The Conductor
CLARK BAECHLE, JACOB THIELE, JOEL PETERSEN, MICHAEL DAPPEN, TODD BEACHLE
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, Previne, Depaur
[Chorus]
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 Verése in a moment of silence
Your body directs a pulse of wind
Von Karjan, Hampton, Menuhin, Levine
[Chorus: x2]
"Control"
