In Sweden there is a large amount of top-class choirs today as well as lots of excellent and demanding compositions for a cappella with professional ensembles. In my master thesis I analyse this interesing phenomenon. In the first chapter I take a look at the history. I examine various aspects which had formed Swedish choral art in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the second chapter I describe the development of the Swedish choral music in the 20th century, especially the activities of a famous choirmaster and teacher of music, Eric Ericson. In the third chapter I analyse the nature of the Swedish choral sound ( attaching also some recordings). In the last chapter I present a few excerpts from the scores of the crucial Swedish choral music pieces of the 20th century. It turns out that the Swedish choral miracle is the result of a long-time development and that numerous historical, cultural, musical and sociological aspects are involved.
