SINGER: The Faint

SONG:The Conductor

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
(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"
