In Buddhist Music
The chanting of this dhāraṇī is perhaps the most frequently performed Buddhist song by Chinese-speaking musicians. Basically all the versions of this chanting follow the same melody, and this rhythm became so well known that even non-religious people in Chinese-speaking regions are familiar with it.
However, many recordings of this chanting is falsely named Tibetan Great Compassion Mantra (藏传大悲咒) or The Great Compassion Mantra in Sanskrit (梵音大悲咒) among Chinese-speaking musicians because they want the name to be familiar to the audience.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken and so die.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
