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.
