Text & Translations
“Weichet nur”
from Cantata No. 202
“Wedding Cantata”
Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten,
Frost und Winde, geht zur Ruh
Florens Lust will der Brust
nichts als frohes Glück verstatten,
denn sie träget Blumen zu.
Vanish now, saddened shadows,
Frost and wind, are gone to rest.
Spring’s desire of the heart,
Wants to allow nothing but
cheery fortune,
To befall on the flowers.
“Seufzer, Tränen, Kummer, Not”
from Cantata No. 21
Seufzer, Tränen, Kummer, Not
ängstlich Sehnen,
Furcht, und Tod
nagen mein beklemmtes Herz,
ich empfinde Jammer, Schmerz,
Sighs, tears, trouble, need
Anxious longings,
Terror and death
Beats at my wrenching heart,
I feel sorrow and pain.
“Ich will auf dem Herren schau’n”
from Cantata No. 93
Ich will auf den Herren schau’n,
und stets meinem Gott vertrau’n.
Er ist der rechte Wundermann
der die Reichen arm und bloß
und die Armen reich und groß
nach seinem Willen machen kann.
I will look unto the Lord,
And always trust in my God.
He is a righteous man of
wondrous things
Who makes the rich poor and low
And the poor rich and great
According to his will.
J.S. Bach (1685-1750)
Auf dem Wasser zu singen
Mitten im Schimmer der
spiegelnden Wellen
Gleitet, wie Schwäne, der
wankende Kahn:
Ach, auf der Freude sanftschim
mernden Wellen
Gleitet die Seele dahin wie der
Kahn;
Denn von dem Himmel herab auf
die Wellen
Tanzet das Abendrot rund um den
Kahn.
Über den Wipfeln des westlichen
Haines
Winket uns freundlich der
rötliche Schein;
Unter den Zweigen des östlichen
Haines
Säuselt der Kalmus im rötlichen
Schein;
Freude des Himmels und Ruhe
des Haines
Atmet die Seel im errötenden
Schein.
Ach, es entschwindet mit tauigem
Flügel
Mir auf den wiegenden Wellen
die Zeit;
Morgen entschwinde mit
schimmerndem Flügel
Wieder wie gestern und heute
die Zeit,
Bis ich auf höherem strahlendem
Flügel
Selber entschwinde der
wechselnden Zeit
In the midst of the shimmer of the
reflecting waves
glides, like swans, the wavering
boat;
Ah, on joy's soft shimmering
waves
glides the soul along like the boat;
Then from Heaven down onto the
waves
dances the glow of the sunset
around the boat.
Over the treetops of the western
grove
waves to us, friendly, the reddish
gleam;
Under the branches of the eastern
grove
murmur the reeds in the reddish
light;
Joy of heaven and the peace of
the grove,
breathes the soul in the reddening
light.
Ah, for me, time vanishes on
dewy wing
on these rocking waves;
Tomorrow, time will vanish with
shimmering wings,
again, as yesterday and today,
Until I, on higher more radiant
wing,
myself vanish with the changing
time.
Franz Schubert (1797-1828) About the Performers

with Red {an orchestra} as Der Engl in Heinrich Schutz's A Christmas
Story and with the CIM Orchestra in performances of Mahler's Fourth

Silverpeal in Der Schauspieldirector and in the title roles of Igor Stra-
vinsky's Le Rossignol and Mozart's La finta giardiniera. She was
praised by The Plain Dealer for portraying Stravinsky's Nightingale
with "silvery-timbre, crystal-clear sense of pitch, and vocal agility." For
La finta giardiniera, The Plain Dealer lauded her "expressive enchant-
ment" and "exceptional accuracy and taste." Ms. Oh holds a master's
degree from CIM, as well as an Artist Diploma in vocal performance.
At CIM, she has been the recipient of the Irvin Bushman Prize, the

vard University productions of The Magic Flute and Purcell's Dido and
Aeneas, while completing the Bachelor of Arts degree program in
economics. Formerly trained as a pianist, Ms. Oh premiered two origi-
nal compositions while at Harvard. In addition, she won numerous
vocal competitions while in the Boston area. Ms. Oh was appointed to
