It has been a long journey at UWW, and so many people have helped me
become the person I am today. First I’d like to thank my mom and dad,
Dean and Angie, and my younger sister, Madie. Thank you for coming to
every show, enduring every time I belted in the shower, and supporting
me through my lowest moments. You are the best. Second, I would like
to thank all of the voice instructors and professors who’ve enriched my
academic life at UW-Whitewater. Brian Leeper, Dr.Schwefel, Dr.Wood,
Dr.Gehrenbeck, Dr.VanAlstine, and Dr.Shelton - thank you for encouraging
me throughout my never-ending vocal discoveries! Finally, I’d like to thank
all of my friends and peers at Whitewater. Thank you for being so kind,
supportive, and for constantly pushing me to become a better musician
and human being. Special thanks to Emily, Carly, Hunter, Tanner, and all
my roommates for encouraging me, supporting me, and being with me
through it all. I hope you ALL enjoy the recital!

Wenn auf dem höchsten Fels ich steh', When I stand on the highest rock,
In's tiefe Tal hernieder seh', Look down into the deep valley
Und singe, And sing,
Fern aus dem tiefen dunkeln Tal From far away in the deep dark valley
Schwingt sich empor der Widerhall The echo from the ravines
Der Klüfte. Rises up.
Je weiter meine Stimme dringt, The further my voice carries,
Je heller sie mir wieder klingt The clearer it echoes back to me
Von unten. From below.
Mein Liebchen wohnt so weit von mir, My sweetheart lives so far from me,
Drum sehn' ich mich so heiß nach ihr Therefore I long to be with her
Hinüber. Over there.
In tiefem Gram verzehr ich mich, Deep grief consumes me,
Mir ist die Freude hin, My joy has fled,
Auf Erden mir die Hoffnung wich, All earthly hope has vanished,
Ich hier so einsam bin. I am so lonely here.
So sehnend klang im Wald das Lied, The song rang out so longingly through the
wood,
So sehnend klang es durch die Nacht, Rang out so longingly through the night,
Die Herzen es zum Himmel zieht That is draws heart to heaven
Mit wunderbarer Macht. With wonderous power.
Der Frühling will kommen, Spring is coming,
Der Frühling, meine Freud', Spring, my joy,
Nun mach' ich mich fertig I shall now make ready
Zum Wandern bereit. To journey.

Seligkeit Bliss
Freuden sonder Zahl Joys without number
Blühn im Himmelssaal Bloom in the halls of heaven
Engeln und Verklärten, For angels and transfigured souls,
Wie die Väter lehrten. As our fathers taugh us.
O da möcht' ich sein, How I’d love to be there
Und mich ewig freun! And rejoice eternally!
Jedem lächelt traut A heavenly bride smiles
Eine Himmelsbraut; Sweetly on everyone;
Harf' und Psalter klinget, Harp and psalter resound,
Und man tanzt und singet. And there’s dancing and singing.
O da möcht' ich sein, How I’d love to be there
Und mich ewig freun! And rejoice eternally.
Lieber bleib' ich hier, I’d sooner stay here
Lächelt Laura mir If Laura smiles on me
Einen Blick, der saget, With a look that says
Daß ich ausgeklaget. I’ve to grieve no more.
Selig dann mit ihr, Blissfully then with her
Bleib' ich ewig hier! I’d stay forever here!
Translation © Richard Stokes, author of The Book of Lieder (Faber, 2005)Die junge Nonne The Young Nun Wie braust durch die Wipfel How the raging storn roars der heulende Sturm! Through the treetops! Es klirren die Balken, The rafters rattle, es zittert das Haus! The house shutters! Es rollet der Donner, The thunder rolls, es leuchtet der Blitz, the lightning flashes, Und finster die Nacht, And the night is as dark wie das Grab! As the grave! Immerhin, immerhin, So be it, so tobt’ es auch jüngst noch in mir! Not long ago a storm still raged in me. Es brauste das Leben, My life roared wie jetzo der Sturm, like the storm now, Es bebten die Glieder, my limbs trembled, wie jetzo das Haus, like the house now, Es flammte die Liebe, love flashed, wie jetzo der Blitz, like the lightning now, Und finster die Brust, and my heart was as dark wie das Grab. as the grave. Nun tobe, du wilder, Now rage, wild, gewalt’ger Sturm, mighty storm; Im Herzen ist Friede, in my heart is peace, im Herzen ist Ruh, in my heart is calm. Des Bräutigams harret The lovely bride awaits die liebende Braut, the bridegroom, Gereinigt in prüfender Glut, purified in the testing flames Der ewigen Liebe getraut. Betrothed to eternal love. Ich harre, mein Heiland, I wait, my savior mit sehnendem Blick! With longing gaze! Komm, himmlischer Bräutigam, Come, heavenly bridegroom, hole die Braut, take your bride. Erlöse die Seele von irdischer Haft. Free the soul from earthly bonds. Horch, friedlich ertönet Listen, the bell sounds das Glöcklein vom Turm! peacefully from the tower. Es lockt mich das süsse Getön Its sweet peeling invites me Allmächtig zu ewigen Höh’n. All-powerfully to eternal heights. Alleluia! Alleluia! Translation © Richard Wigmore
The Singer Where the music comes from I met a singer on the hill I want to be where the music comes from He wore a tattered cloak; Where the clock stops, where it's now His cap was torn I want to be with the friends around me His shoes were worn Who have found me, who show me how And dreamily he spoke I want to sing to the early morning Fa la la la la la ... See the sunlight melt the snow Fa la la la la la And oh, I want to grow A wrinkled face, a cheery smile I want to wake to the living spirit And a nobby stick had he; Here inside me where it lies His eyes were grey and far away I want to listen till I can hear it And changeful as the sea Let it guide me and realize I offered him a piece of gold That I can go with the flow unending And hoped that he would stay That is blending, that is real No word he spoke, but shook his head And oh, I want to feel And smiled and went his way I want to walk in the earthly garden Fa la la la la la ... Far from cities, far from fear La la la la la la I want to talk to the growing garden I watched the singer down the hill To the devas, to the deer My eyes went following after And to be one with the river I thought I heard a fairy flute Breezes blowing, sky above And the sound of fairy laughter And oh, I want to love Fa la la la la la… La la la la la la
Steal Me, Sweet Thief What a curse for a woman is a timid man! A week has gone by He's had plenty of chances But he made no advances Miss Todd schemes and labors to get him some money She robs friends and neigbhours, the club and the church He takes all the money With a smile that entrances But still makes no advances The old woman sighs and makes languid eyes All the doors are wide open All the drawers are unlocked! He nеither seems pleased or shockеd He eats and drinks and sleeps He talks of baseball and boxing But that is all! What a curse for a woman is a timid man! Steal me, oh steal me, sweet thief For time's flight is stealing my youth And the cares of life steal fleeting time Steal me, thief, for life is brief and full of theft and strife And then, with furtive step Death comes and steals time and life O sweet thief, I pray make me glow Before dark death steals her prey Steal my lips, before they crumble to dust Steal my heart, before death must Steal my cheeks, before they're sunk and decayed Steal my breath, before it will fade Steal my lips, steal my heart, steal my cheeks Steal, oh steal my breath And make me die before death will steal her prey Oh steal me! For time's flight is stealing my youth
La Promesa The Promise Ch’io mai vi possa lasciar d’amare, That I could ever cease to love you, Non lo credete, pupille care! Do not believe it, dear eyes! Nè men per gioco vingannerò, nò. Not even as a joke will I deceive you, no. Voi foste, e siete le mie favill, You were and are my sparks, E voi sarete, care pupille and you will be, dear eyes Il mio bel foco fin ch’io vivrà. My beautiful passion as long as I shall live.

Of fresh fruit and flowers. Chi viene al primo albore Whoever comes at the first dawn avrà vezzose rose will have pretty roses E poma rugiadose, and dew-sprinkled apples, Venite al mio giardin, come to my garden Ahu, ahu, ah! Aoo, aoo, ah! Chi del notturno orrore Whoever in the night’s terror Smarri la buona via, loses the safe path, Alla capanna mia at my little hut Ritroverà il cammin. Will again find the way. Venite o passaggiero, Come oh traveler, La pastorella è qua, the shepherdess is here, Ma il fior del suo pensiero but the flower of her thought Ad uno solo darà! To one alone she will give! Ahu, ahu, ah! Aoo, aoo, ah! Translation © 2020 by Bard Suverkrop – IPA Source, LLC
