Akhnaten - Hymn

My favorite piece from this opera, mainly for the music but also for the way it links Akhnaten’s “Hymn to the Aten“ to the Hebrew Bible. Most of this is in English, unlike many of the other songs in the opera. For the Psalm 104 sections at the end I added the Hebrew lyrics from Philip Glass’s web site (#libretto). Hopefully it is matching what is being sung; I was using this translation as a reference: Akhnaten: Nicholas Tamagna All rights belong to the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University.
