'Ronald Corp is Britain's most prolific choral conductor-composer, and with this work he breaks fascinating new ground. The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings of the Buddha transmitted orally before being written down 2,000 years ago. Set for small choir, it becomes a beguiling work, full of scrunchy dissonances but graceful to the ear.'

Michael Church, Independent, January 29th, 2011 - 'Album of the Week'

'Corp’s own contributions are all gratefully conceived for children’s chorus and are very enjoyable. They are all written in a simple and easy-going language which is pleasant on the ear and, no doubt, very enjoyable to sing... Very good recording and notes.'
