(Johan) August Söderman (17 July 1832 in Stockholm – 10 February 1876 in Stockholm) has traditionally been seen as the pre-eminent Swedish composer of the Romantic generation, known especially for his lieder and choral works, based on folk material, and for his theatre music, such as the incidental music to Ludvig Josephson's ''Marsk Stigs döttrar'' ("Marshal Stig's Daughter"), 1866, or his ''Svenskt festspel'' ("Swedish Festival Music").
