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 conduction vere'se 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.

control.
