temakörs

Temakörs is a Swedish term that translates to "theme choir" or "topic choir." It refers to a type of choir that focuses its repertoire on a specific theme or genre of music. This theme could be anything from folk music of a particular region, songs from a certain historical period, music from a specific composer, or a particular musical style like jazz, pop, or classical.

The concept of a Temakörs allows for a more specialized musical exploration and performance. Members of such a choir often share a common interest in the chosen theme, leading to a potentially deeper engagement with the music and its cultural context. Performances by Temakörs are typically centered around their chosen theme, offering audiences a curated and focused musical experience.

While not a formal organizational structure in itself, Temakörs can exist as independent groups or as special projects within larger musical organizations or educational institutions. They provide a platform for singers to delve into specific musical worlds, fostering both individual musical growth and collective artistic expression within a defined thematic scope. The term emphasizes the thematic unity of the choir's musical output.
