Undine Smith Moore, the “Dean of Black Women Composers,” offers a captivating setting of a famous yet poignant text by Langston Hughes that portrays encounters of racism in America. The musical conventions of I, Too are written through her personal and ancestral connection to the poetry’s text, as Smith-Moore is a Virginia native and a granddaughter of enslaved persons. Moore stated, “One of the most evil effects of racism in my time was the limits it placed upon the aspirations of Blacks.” Typical of Moore’s compositional style, the use of brilliant harmonies and bold piano accompaniment serve as a striking complement to Hughes' rebellious and audacious message in this work.
