The crystal clear Nordic choral style grew out of the late romantic period, through works by composers like Edvard Grieg, Hugo Alfvén, Carl Nielsen, David Wikander and Jean Sibelius. Modern Nordic composers such as Knut Nystedt, Trond Kverno, Jaakko Mäntyjärvi and Ola Gjeilo are particularly popular, perhaps because many of them are still true to the pure Nordic sounds of their predecessors.
