Saturday 5 May 2012 at 7.00pm

The London Chorus


Musical Director - Ronald Corp

in a performance of

Ronald Corp's Dhammapada


All tickets £9.50 from
www.brightonfestivalfringe.org.uk

for more information visit www.londonchorus.org.uk/Dhammapada

Dhammapada is a choral piece of exceptional beauty
and spirituality – a collaboration between renowned
choral composer and Anglican priest, Ronald Corp,
and Buddhist writer, Francis Booth. Dhammapada –
meaning ‘the path to the truth’ – contains the words of
the Buddha, compiled by his followers after his death
2,500 years ago. It contains the Buddha’s key messages
expressed in striking and beautiful images. It is spiritual
without being religious – a manual for living a good life.

Corp's music is both meditative and inspiring, capturing perfectly the soothing and didactic nature of the Buddha's words. It is entrancing a cappella music. The eight choral movements are interspersed with recordings of bells from important Buddhist sites.

These two aspects of the work, as it was originally conceived, produce an effect of simplicity and wonderment, immediately transporting the listener to a more serene state of mind.

The text of the work can be downloaded from
The London Chorus website.
