PROJECT# 93

SATB Choir & Piano | 2025 | ca. 5:00

I’ll be your shelter When no one’s near, I’ll be that hand To pick up your tears.

When the winds howl fierce And the skies turn gray, I’ll be your shelter For that new day

PERUSAL SCORE ONLY

I’ll be the whisper That calms your mind, The steady heartbeat In a world unkind.

When your heart feels heavy, And your hope feels thin, I’ll be the shelter Where you can begin again.

I’ll be the shelter Where you can rebuild again.

UNAUTHORIZED COPY

If the darkness pulls you under, I’ll be the light you need.

If the silence breaks your spirit, I’ll be the words you seek.

When the weight of all your sorrow Feels too heavy to bear, I will be the shelter, Where you can heal from there

KATAHJ COPLEY MUSIC

I’ll be your shelter Where you can rebuild again..

I’ll be your shelter Where you can begin again.

I’ll be your shelter Where you can rebuild again.

We’ll be our shelters And we can call this our home.

KATAHJ COPLEY MUSIC KATAHJ COPLEY Carrollton, Georgia native, Katahj Copley (he/him/his) premiered his first work, Spectra, in 2017 and hasn’t stopped composing since. As of now, Katahj has written over 100 works, including pieces for chamber ensembles, wind ensembles, and orchestra. His compositions have been performed and commissioned by universities, organizations, and professional ensembles, including the Cavaliers Brass, California Band Director Association, Admiral Launch Duo, and “The President’s Own” Marine Band. Katahj has also received critical acclaim internationally with pieces being performed in Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, China, and Australia.

PERUSAL SCORE ONLY

Katahj received two Bachelor of Music degrees from the University of West Georgia in Music Education and Composition in 2021. In 2023, he received his Masters in Music Composition from the University of Texas at Austin - studying with Omar Thomas and Yevgeniy Sharlat. He is currently pursing his DMA in Music Composition at Michigan State University.

Aside from composing, Katahj is an excited educator who teaches young musicians the joy of discovering music and why music is a phenomenal language.

“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.”
