A conductor is a person who directs the performance of a composer's score. In this pursuit, he or she will be most concerned with determining when individual instruments play their parts of the music. Often, but not always, the conductor will also be the orchestrator of the orchestra.
In Doctor Who history, conductors were not formally credited until late in the RTD era, and then only on special occasion, as with The End of Time. During the Moffat era, the conductor began to be credited on a more regular basis. As of 2011 the only individuals ever credited as a conductor were Ben Foster, who conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Doctor Who's usual orchestra, and David Temple, who conducts the Crouch End Festival Chorus.
