Undine Eliza Anna Smith Moore (25 August 1904 – 6 February 1989), the "Dean of Black Women Composers", was an American composer and professor of music in the twentieth century. Moore was originally trained as a classical pianist, but developed a compositional output of mostly vocal music—her preferred genre.[1] Much of her work was inspired by black spirituals and folk music.[2] Undine Smith Moore was a renowned teacher, and once stated that she experienced "teaching itself as an art".[3] Towards the end of her life, she received many awards for her accomplishments as a music educator.[4]
