Abstract: In four-dimensional $mathcalN=4$ super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group $SU(N)$, we present a closed-form solution for a family of integrated four-point functions involving stress tensor multiplet composites of arbitrary R-charge. These integrated correlators are shown to be equivalent to a one-dimensional semi-infinite lattice of harmonic oscillators with nearest-neighbor interactions, evolving over the fundamental domain of $SL(2,mathbbZ)$. The solution, exceptionally simple in an $SL(2,mathbbZ)$-invariant eigenbasis, is exact in the R-charge $p$, rank $N$, and complexified gauge coupling $au$. This permits a systematic and non-perturbative large charge expansion for any $N$ and $au$. Especially novel is a double-scaled "gravity regime" in which $psim{N}^{2}gg1$, holographically dual to a large charge regime of semiclassical type IIB string theory in AdS${}_5,imes$ S${}^5$. Our results in this limit provide a holographic computation of integrated semiclassical string amplitudes at arbitrary string coupling, including an emergent string scale with a large charge dressing factor. We compare to extremal correlators in superconformal QCD, for which we predict new genus expansions at large charge scaling with $N$.
