Ronald Corp has written a magical sacred choral setting of the Dhammapada
The Dhammapada is one of the most sacred texts of Buddhism, it contains pithy sayings of Gautama the Buddha. Composer Ronald Corp has written a wonderful sacred choral setting of some verses from the Dhammapada. Not himself a Buddhist Corp was clearly deeply inspired by these ancient verses and has written a piece very much in the tradition of British sacred choral music. I was reminded somewhat of the work of the celebrated Scottish Catholic composer James MacMillan. I was inspired and uplifted by these contemplative settings of a key Buddhist text.
