Benj. Richmond, Australian composer of "Dance of the Song Bird" (photo on left), I came across another piece of his work, this 1902 "Dance of the Honey Bees" piano sheet music. Published by Willis Woodward in 1902. This is music for the piano and a fabulous piece of history.
I looked for a few hours but couldn't find any real history on Benj. Richmond, just that he was an Australian Composer. I wish I played so I could hear what I was looking at!

I just came across your post as I was looking up some sheet music that I received. I have several hundred thus far...still going through boxes. The Dance of the Honeybee's was one of them. Mine is different from yours. It is entirely green (no white borders) Extremely old looking but from 1902. When I read your paragraph and got to the line, " I wish I played so I could hear what I was looking at!" I have said that so many times already looking at this stuff. Some I found on YouTube, but mostly it's gone with history. Such a shame. I was thinking of buying a tube music player so I could hear some of it. Thanks for making me smile. I know this is old but I just had to say something. :-) Cheers.
