Alfred George Robyn (April 29, 1860 – October 18, 1935) was an American composer, organist, conductor, and music educator. While his compositional output consisted of a wide range of music, he is best remembered as a composer of light operas and Broadway musicals.[1] He composed the Broadway musicals Princess Beggar (1907), The Yankee Tourist (1907), All for the Ladies (1912), and Pretty Mrs. Smith (1914); many in collaboration with lyricist and playwright Henry Blossom. His compositional output also consisted of fourteen operas, two oratorios, Symphony in D minor, the symphonic poem Pompeii, a piano concerto, a piano quintet, numerous works for solo piano, and over two hundred songs. His best known work is the comic opera The Yankee Consul (premiered 1903 in Boston; Broadway production in 1904).[1]
