Agnes Melville is known only for two published works written in 1902 and 1903. Of ragtime interest is her
Darkies Drill (1902) published by
Avon Music Company, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. On the cover of the original sheet music, it is proclaimed that this piece was played by
John Philip Sousa's Band backing this up by including a programme dated 10th December of a concert performed in Tremont Temple within the score.
