R. Nathaniel Dett graduated
from Oberlin Conservatory in 1908; he then continued his education at several
institutions, including Harvard and Columbia Universities, and studied
with Nadia Boulanger in France in 1929. He held his position at Hampton
from 1913–1931 and developed the Hampton Institute Choir into a superior
organization that won critical acclaim on tours in the USA and Europe.
Dett wrote in a neo–Romantic style and a nationalist vein.
