Francisca Vanherle Maxwell
Francisca Vanherle Maxwell was born in Argentina but grew up in Belgium where she started her
musical education at the age of 5. She attended the Royal Conservatorium in Brussels and obtained
a Bachelors and a Master’s degree in Vocal Arts and a degree in Vocal Pedagogy. In 1997, she was
granted a Fulbright Scholarship to continue her education at the University of Texas at Austin. She
graduated with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Voice Performance in 2002. Currently living in
Atlanta, she teaches voice in her private studio and at Agnes Scott College.
Francisca also works as a freelance soloist in a versatile repertoire comprising all ages. She has been
staged in lead roles of many operas and operettas, among which L’Incorronazione di Poppea, Rinaldo,
Alcina, Die Fledermaus and Paganini . She equally portrays herself in oratorio and as a chamber
music vocalist. She is a member of the Atlanta based early music group Harmonie Universelle. Her
concert life has taken her all over Europe, Russia and the United States.
Timothy Boyd Miller
Mr. Miller is an active performer with both national and international credits. As a resident of Atlanta
Georgia, he has performed with local, national, and international opera companies. Operatic roles
include Monastatos and First Armored Man in Mozart’s Die Zauberflӧte, Street in Davis’ X: The Life
and Times of Malcolm X, and Un Messaggero in Verdi’s Aida. In June of 2008 Mr. Miller sang the role
of Crab Man in critically acclaimed performances of Porgy and Bess at the Opéra-Comique in Paris
and on tour in Luxembourg, Granada, and Normandy. He has appeared in concert performances
of Handel’s Messiah, Bach’s Magnificat, and a concert version of excerpts from Richard Strauss’ Der
Rosenkavalier performed with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. In March 2013 Mr. Miller sang the
role of Comrade Alexander Ossipon in the world premier of Curtis Bryant’s The Secret Agent with
libretto by Alan Reichman. Perhaps most widely recognized for his stirring renditions of “God Bless
America” during the seventh inning stretch of Atlanta Braves home games, Miller has extended his
exposure well beyond the concert stage. Soloist for the 2011 Georgia Gubernatorial Inauguration
Ceremony, featured artist promos for Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, and featured artist in the
December 2012 edition of The Atlantan Magazine “Patrons and Players” rounds out a growing list of
memorable career highlights. In addition to performing, Mr. Miller is an Adjunct Professor of Voice
and Music at Morehouse College.

Symphony No. 2 “Lobgesang”
2. Chorus and Soprano Solo
Alles, was Odem hat, lobe den Herrn.
Lobt den Herrn mit Saitenspiel, lobt ihn mit eurem Lied.
Und alles Fleisch lobe seinen heiligen Namen.
Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele, und was in mir ist, seinen
heiligen Namen.
Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele, und vergiß es nicht, was
er dir Gutes getan.
2. Chorus and soprano solo
Everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord with the lyre, praise him with your song.
And let all flesh bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and that is within me , bless his holy
name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not that he has done you
good.
3. Tenor Recitative and Aria
Saget es, die ihr erlöst seid durch den Herrn,
die er aus der Not errettet hat,
aus schwerer Trübsal, aus Schmach und Banden, die ihr
gefangen im Dunkel waret,
alle, die er erlöst hat aus der Not.
Saget es! Danket ihm und rühmet seine Güte!
Er zählet unsre Tränen in der Zeit der Noth,
er tröstet die Betrübten mit seinem Wort.
Saget es! Danket ihm und rühmet seine Güte.
3. Tenor Recitative and Aria
Say it that you are redeemed by the Lord,
he has delivered them out of trouble,
of severe tribulation, from shame and bondage
captives in the darkness,
all which he hath redeemed from distress
Say it! Give thanks to him and praise ye, His goodness!
He numbers our tears tears in our time of need,
he comforts the afflicted with his word.
Say it! Give thanks to him and praise ye his kindness.
4. Chorus
Saget es, die ihr erlöset seid von dem Herrn aus aller
Trübsal.
Er zählet unsere Tränen in der Zeit der Noth.
4. Chorus
Say it that you are redeemed by the Lord out of all tribulation.
He numbers our tears in out time of need.
5. Soprano Duet and Chorus
Ich harrete des Herrn, und er neigte sich zu mir und
hörte mein Flehn.
Wohl dem, der seine Hoffnung setzt auf den Herrn!
Wohl dem, der seine Hoffnung setzt auf ihn!
5. Soprano Duet and Chorus
I waited patiently for the Lord, and He inclined to me and heard
my supplication.
Blessed is the man whose hope is in the Lord!
Blessed is the man whose hope is in him!
6. Tenor Aria and Recitative
Stricke des Todes hatten uns umfangen,
und Angst der Hölle hatte uns getroffen,
wir wandelten in Finsternis.
Er aber spricht: Wache auf! der du schläfst,
stehe auf von den Toten, ich will dich erleuchten!
Wir riefen in der Finsternis: Hüter, ist die Nacht bald
hin?
Der Hüter aber sprach:
Wenn der Morgen schon kommt, so wird es doch Nacht
sein;
wenn ihr schon fraget, so werdet ihr doch wiederkommen
und wieder fragen: Hüter, ist die Nacht bald
hin?
6. Tenor Aria and Recitative
The sorrows of death encompassed us
and fear of hell had struck us,
We wandered in darkness.
He saith, Awake! you who sleep,
arise from the dead, I will enlighten you!
We called in the darkness, Watchman, will the night soon pass?
But the Watchman said:
if the morning comes soon, it will yet again be night;
and if you ask, you will return
and ask again, Watchman, will the night soon pass?

Die Nacht ist vergangen, der Tag aber herbei gekommen.
So laßt uns ablegen die Werke der Finsternis,
und anlegen die Waffen des Lichts,
und ergreifen die Waffen des Lichts. (Romans 13:12)
The night has passed, but the day has come.
So let us cast off the works of darkness,
and put on the armor of light,
and take up the armor of light. (Romans 13:12)

Nun danket alle Gott mit Herzen, Mund und Händen,
der sich in aller Not will gnädig zu uns wenden,
der so viel Gutes tut, von Kindesbeinen an
uns hielt in seiner Hut und allen wohlgetan.
Now let us all thank God with hearts and hands and voices,
who in all adversity will be merciful to us,
who does so much good, who from childhood
has kept us in his care and done good to all.
Lob Ehr und Preis sei Gott, dem Vater und dem Sohne,
und seinem heilgen Geist im höchsten Himmelsthrone.
Lob dem dreiein’gen Gott, der Nacht und Dunkel schied
von Licht und Morgenrot, ihm danket unser Lied.
(Evangelisches Kirchengesangbuch; Text v. Martin
Rinckart, 1636)
Praise, honor and glory be to God the Father, and the Son,
and his Holy Spirit on heaven’s highest throne.

from light and dawn, give thanks to him with our song.

9. Soprano and tenor duet
Drum sing ich mit meinem Liede ewig dein Lob, du
treuer Gott!
Und danke dir für alles Gute, das du an mir getan.
Und wandl’ ich in der Nacht und tiefem Dunkel
und die Feinde umher stellen mir nach,
so rufe ich an den Namen des Herrn,
und er errettet mich nach seiner Güte.
So I sing your praises with my song forever , faithful God!
And thank you for all the good you have done to me.
Though I wander in night and deep darkness
and enemies beset me all around
I will call upon the name of the Lord,
and he saved me by His goodness.
