It is a frosty morning here in Texas with a predicted high today of only 45 degrees. I had better bundle up good when I go out to do all my weekly errands or I will regret it. I hope it is warmer where you are. If not, then all the muscular Men in Jeans posted below today's play list will should get you hot and bothered enough that the temperature outside will not matter a great deal. As for the play list today, we once again turn to Sweden for the featured composer. Johan Helmich Roman (26 October 1694 – 20 November 1758) was a Swedish Baroque composer. He has been called "the father of Swedish music" or "the Swedish Handel." In 1744 Roman composed one of his finest works, Drottningholm Music: a large orchestral suite for the wedding of the Crown Prince Adolf Frederick of Sweden and Louisa Ulrika of Prussia. Drottningholm Music", or "Music for a Royal Wedding" consists of a collection of 24 short pieces ranging in length from about one to six minutes. The wedding took place at the palace of Drottningholm (hence the title). You will notice a great similarity to the style of Handel in this delightful suite of music. I hope you have a great day, thanks for spending part of it with me. Be sure to stop by tomorrow for this week's edition of Naked or Nearly So. Now I have lists to make and errands to run so I will better get to it. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
