Endure from year to year
And as we travel on through life In fortune, In Defeat
When e’er we think of friendship true Our hearts with you will meet.

When I was asked to write a work for Jackson High School’s 100th year celebration, I knew I wanted to create something that honored the idea of time. In every part of life, time shapes us—whether we feel we have plenty of it or sense the urgency of it slipping away. It carries both triumphs and challenges, but its greatest gift is the opportunity to fully live within it.
Each moment invites us to create something meaningful—to build memories that outlast the seconds in which they are made. With that spirit in mind, I composed From Year to Year, a celebration of moments, milestones, and the legacy they form.
Throughout the piece, you’ll hear echoes of ticking clocks, shifting tempos, and musical gestures that suggest time stretching, racing, and transforming. At the heart of the work lies its emotional core: a timeless statement of the school’s alma mater. It stands as a reminder that as time moves forward, our memories remain—carried from one class to the next, passed down like a torch.

KATAHJ COPLEY MUSIC
“Music for me has always been this impactful thing in my life. It can soothe, it can enrage, it can quiet, and it can evoke emotions that are beyond me and this world we live in. I believe that music is the ultimate source of freedom and imagination. The most freedom I have had as a musician was through composing. Composition is like me opening my heart and showing the world my drive, my passion, and my soul.”
