Bozhidar Spasov

Bozhidar Spasov (Cyrillic: Божидар Спасов) (born 1949) is a Bulgarian composer.
Born in Sofia, Spasov went to Moscow to study music, graduating in composition from the Moscow Conservatory in 1975. He then became a research associate with the Musicology Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. His music shows an awareness of contemporary trends, such as the music of Karlheinz Stockhausen and Luciano Berio; he takes much of his inspiration from medieval texts. Among his works are two chamber opera-ballets, 1975's "Omagyosaniyat" ("The Bewitched") and "Printsesata i svinaryat" ("The Princess and the Swineherd") of 1980.
