Sweden has a strong choral tradition, ranging from acclaimed professional choirs, through to amateur choirs of all ages and stages. Browse our sheet music and scores, and explore the wide world of Swedish choral music with Stretta Music today!
The Swedish Choir Movement is said to have originated in Uppsala in 1808, where students performed a singing peace march to protest the Swedish-Russian war in Finland. From then on, choral singing spread throughout Sweden, and became an organic part of the cultural heritage.
One of the most important advocates of Swedish choral life is the choirmaster and conductor Eric Ericson, who through his search for the brightest, purest and clearest sound, has epitomised the modern Nordic choral sound. He inspired Swedish composers and musicologists to create and understand choral music, and the so-called ’Swedish musical wonder’.
Here is an overview of Swedish choral composers, and why not take a look at our Swedish Choral Sheet Music Downloads.
