“Awake up, my glory” is a setting of Psalm 57 [KJV]. Sungji Hong wrote the music and submitted the setting. This text is a call for all of creation to joyfully praise the Lord our God. I tried to capture this idea of joy at God’s unmerited goodness and grace.

It was written in the spring of 2019 for the Deus Ex Musica composition project “A Musical Exploration of the Psalms,” performed by Megan Roth and Julia Carey at Old South Church in Boston on June 28, 2019. The piece is scored for soprano and piano.
It is a psalm full of praise, blessing, worship, and glory.
