Collection: SCHOLA CANTORUM chamber choir

Ever since Schola Cantorum was founded by composer Knut Nystedt in 1964, the chamber choir of the Department of Musicology at the University of Oslo has had as its prime goal to present contemporary choral works with a particular emphasis on Norwegian and Nordic composers. The choir’s first recordings were dedicated to Norwegian music of the twentieth century, with subsequent recordings following suit – not least in the case of the present recordings under conductor Tone Bianca Sparre Dahl. The aim is to present contemporary choral music in a wide variety of styles ranging from folk- and jazz-inspired pieces to modernistic works specially commissioned by Schola Cantorum.
