music by Bessarabov

[Brendan O'Connor]

I am looking for a copy of A. Bessarabov's setting The Body of Christ. Can anyone direct me to a source please?

Brendan,

Can't find this one anywhere online. If it's any use, Boris Tarakanov's site has a different piece by Bessarabov - Troparion of the Dormition. It's on the page http://notes.tarakanov.net/composers/b.htm - search for Бессарабов in the list of composers if your Cyrillic is as un-fluent as mine. Having said which, Boris's site hosts a lot of illegal stuff and, since I can't find any biographical details for Bessarabov, I've no idea whether you'd be breaking the law by downloading it or not.

Thanks for that info Dave and sorry for not getting back to you sooner. BOC
