Johan Helmich Roman

Johan Helmich Roman (October 26, 1694 - November 20, 1758 was one of the most important composers of the Baroque era in Sweden. He is often referred to as "the father of Swedish music" or "the Swedish Handel". Probably most famous of his works is the so-called Drottningholm music (originally titled "Bilägersmusiquen"), a suite of twenty-four movements, written for the wedding of Adolf Frederick of Sweden and Louisa Ulrika of Prussia.
