Psalm of Joy is an ode (a service of word and music) created by Moravian composer Johann Friedrich Peter (1746–1813) and performed on July 4, 1783, as part of the first organized July 4th celebration in the nation. 

This year we are celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. After years of suffering and turmoil, the end of the Revolutionary War found the Moravians citizens of a brand-new nation. When the Moravians in North Carolina received a letter from Governor Alexander Martin (ca. 1739–1807) proclaiming July 4th a day of celebration and thanksgiving, the Moravians turned (as they always do) to music. Rather than revel in victory; however, it was the return of peace that spoke to them and inspired the music of this joyful work. Whether it is in regard to the end of armed conflicts or a respite from the chaos of everyday life, this message of gratitude, peace, and joy endures.
