Dr. Francis Cathlina, director

I Shall Not Live in Vain

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

-Emily Dickinson
(1830-1886)

Commissioned for the Jefferson County Public Schools 10th-12th Grade All-County Honor Choir. The piece was premiered in October 2024 under the direction of Dr. Francis Cathlina.

Perfect for school, collegiate, and community ensembles, this lyrical and expressive piece will move audiences with its meaningfully relevant text and beautiful melodies.

Also available for orchestra and choir. Please message me if interested!
