A '''conductor''' is a person who directs the performance of a [[composer]]'s [[incidental music|score]]. In this pursuit, they 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]] in cases of [[orchestra]]l performances. | A '''conductor''' is a person who directs the performance of a [[composer]]'s [[incidental music|score]].
