This terrific recording includes concert music from a diverse group of African-American composers, including Roland Hayes, Thomas Greene Bethune, Florence Price, Harry T. Burleigh, R. Nathaniel Dett, Hall Johnson, Will Marion Cook, John William Boone, John Work, William Grant Still, and the composer featured in this month's clip, Margaret Bonds. Bonds worked closely with the great Harlem Renaissance poet, Langston Hughes, many times, and it is his poems which provide the text for her Three Dream Portraits. Known for her setting of spirituals, these are echoed in the work, evident in the third one, a setting of Hughes's powerful "I, too." There are two text changes. The first is not especially striking (she changed the line "Tomorrow, I'll be at the table" to "Tomorrow, I'll sit at the table"). The second, however, is thoroughly intriguing: she omits Hughes's powerful last line, "I, too, am America" altogether.
