Dorothy Rudd Moore

Dorothy was born on June 4, 1940 in New Castle, Delaware. She was interested in music at a very young age thanks to her mother who was a singer and very supportive of her. The mathematical aspects of music were really appealing to her. She married a man named Kermit Moore who was a cellist. She attended school at Howard University. She also attended American Conservatory at Fontainebleau in 1963, had private study with Chou Wen Chung in 1965 and private voice lessons with Lola Hayes in 1972. She was a teacher at Harlem School of the Arts from 1965-66, New York University in 1969, Bronx Community College in 1971. She gave private piano, voice, sight-singing, and ear-training lessons in 1968. She has many different pieces of work; chamber pieces, song cycles, orchestral music, and an opera. "From the Dark Tower" is what she called her "black power statement" in reference to the pain and anger she felt at pervasive racism and class privilege.

Billie Holiday "The Very Thought of You". It is the piano, trumpet and her vocals. It sounds as if she would sing this at some type of night club.  In the beginning it starts off with about 2 counts of just the piano then her voice comes in with the piano accompanying her. Then there are 8 counts of her singing then the trumpet comes in for about an 8 count phrase then she comes in with about 4 counts of her finishing the song. It has an ABA forum
