BELLMAN

Composer: Carl M. Bellman

Carl Michael Bellman, born at Stockholm, Feb 4, 1740, died there Feb. 11, 1795. The great Swedish poet deserves a place also in the history of Swedish music, having set to music his ingenious descriptions of popular life, embodied in the partly idyllic, partly burlesque, cycles: The Epistles of Fredman, The Songs of Fredman, and The Acts of the Bacchanalian Chapter. Cyclopedia of Music and Musicians by John Denison Camplin, Jr. and William Foster Apthorp (Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1888) https://archive.org/details/cyclopediaofmusi01cham/mode/2up  Go to person page >
