A Face is Worth a Thousand Notes

Found this about choir director faces:

Is there any face better than the face of a choir director (or conductor) when they are directing?!

The choir director/conductor face falls in the same camp as the baby spying their just-returned-home-mother face and the groom-sees-his-bride-come-down-the-aisle face. As appealing as it is to listen to a choir or orchestra, visual me sometimes finds equal joy in watching the face of the director during a concert.

The range of emotion, nuance and directives that are capable of being communciated via a human face is perhaps never greater than in the face of a director when they are leading a detailed piece of music. I think it would be rather fabulous if someone would do a film project that shows only a close-up of a director's face for the length of an entire piece, with no soundtrack at all.

Then maybe the same footage could play again with the piece being heard -- or something like that--I don't know--I make paintings, not movies. Ya gotta love that face though, don'tcha think?!
