Life Is Not A Dream – SATB

$3.35

Description

Life Is Not a Dream was commissioned for the This Is Me choral festival presented
by National Concerts, an event that fosters a safe, uplifting, and affirming space for
LGBTQIA+ singers and allies to come together in song. In her poem Life, Charlotte
Brontë (1816–1855) challenges the prevailing 19th-century belief that existence is
marked solely by despair and suffering. Similarly, LGBTQIA+ individuals have long
been defined by narratives of hardship, but like many within the community, this
poem pushes back against that narrow portrayal. Instead, Life affirms that joy and
sorrow can coexist, and that resilience is not just possible, but powerful. Brontë’s
words celebrate the quiet strength of enduring in a world that often seeks to marginalize
LBGTQIA+ lives, offering a vision of life that embraces hope, beauty, and the defiant
act of being visible.
