Instrument: Conductor

@Evangelionism 5 лет назад

Just as a flute or bassoon are instruments to flautists and bassoonists, the orchestra forms the instrument of the conductor - if they're ineffective, the entire thing could sound off. Hmm. Does that, by extension, mean the conductor is the instrument of the composer/orchestrator?

Enjoyed them a lot and also learned a lot :) thanks.

@catherinehamer5653 2 года назад

But the orange is only obeying the Newton’s laws of gravity (which is what you would need to accurately calculate if you were a 3 ball+ circus juggler) An orchestral conductor needs a more ‘balletic’ approach to the interpretation of gravity, time, motion and the score in front of him. There are good conductors out there, some who have many idiosyncratic gestures and others who do vey little (but somehow can hold the show together with minimal effort.)

So the conductor is basically a human metronome?

@JJBerthume 9 лет назад

Yes, but his most important feature is really instructing the players how to articulate passages in order to fulfill the composer's grand vision for the piece. The conductor sees the entire score and how the instruments blend together and what parts they perform, and is the only one with the bird's eye view necessary to make a great performance. Sure, the players can all perform their parts individually without the conductor just fine, but the conductor takes a bunch of orchestral players (which is just that: a bunch of orchestral players) and turn it into a single living organism; the symphony orchestra.

@thehomelessconsultant9949 4 года назад

A good conductor is essential for orchestra, so I offer much respect here. However, if you really want to cook with gas, look up Drum & Bugle Corps drum majors. Not only do they have to conduct a football field-sized band that is in constant (often *fast*) motion, but they also maintain the physical conditioning of an Olympian and they are judged for each performance. And they are usually only 16-21 years old - simply astonishing. Search on "dci drum major" and be amazed by what you find! Conductors wear a suit and take a bow, but drum majors wear a uniform and each has their own unique salute!
