Jalonda Robertson has composed a high-quality, gospel-inspired choral anthem. The rhythmic, syncopated melodic line and choral harmonies are supported by an idiomatic keyboard part transcribed by Thomas W. Jefferson. A key change introduces the final verse, and the closing section begins with separate, distinct vocal entrances and slowly builds to an exciting conclusion. Choir will relish the power and beauty of both text and music.

'LIST ENING EARTH' is a symphonic drama, a one- movement composition in four parts based on the work by two writers, Joseph Addison (1672-1719) and W.H.Auden (1907-1973). Joseph Addison is not particularly well known; he was English, a classical scholar, essayist, poet and politician, but one of his hymns was used by Benjamin Britten. in his setting of a Thomas Tallis canon.
The hymn is singularly beautiful and being a composer always inspired by extramusical stimuli such as poems, nature, paintings, I was immediately convinced when I carne across the Addison hymn, that here was exactly what I wanted to use as my major source of inspiration for this piece, commissioned by and written for The Berlin Philharmonic.
I don't refer to the hymn in its entirety, but have chosen the following 3 excerpts, all acting as mottos for the first three sections of the piece, thus turning the piece into a straightforward tonepoem in the classical.
