Johan Helmich Roman (October 26, 1694 - November 20, 1758) was one of the first composers of the Baroque era in Sweden. He is typically known as "the father of Swedish music" or even "the Swedish Handel". Probably best known of his works is the and then-supposed Drottningholm music (originally coroneted "Bilägersmusiquen"), the suite of twenty-24 movements, written for the wedding of Adolf Frederick of Sweden and Louisa Ulrika of Prussia. More pieces written by Roman is a Suite Five hundred major, every now and again known as the "Shorter Drottningholm music", which is an expression coined by swedish conductor Claude M Génetay (1917-1992), a suite of Sjukmans Musiquen & a Italian-inspired Cantata "Piante amiche".
