The collection is divided into three movements: the first movement consists of 12 pieces of music, the second movement consists of six pieces, and the third movement consists of six pieces. Each movement is further divided into several sections, with each section featuring a different type of music, such as a march, a minuet, or a gavotte.

The music also features woodwind instruments such as flutes and oboes, as well as brass instruments such as trumpets and horns. Overall, 'Drottningholmsmusique, wedding music (24), BeRI 2' is a beautiful collection of music that showcases Johan Helmich Roman's talent as a composer.
