Bourrée sheet music

Bourrée sheet music is listed here under both “Bourrée” and “Bourrée.” The available scores include two credited to Michael Praetorius and one anonymous tune in a miscellaneous collection. Attribution and opening metre differ between the listings, so compare the individual score before choosing one for study or performance.

Attribution and versions

Two Bourrée listings name Michael Praetorius as composer, while a third is listed without a composer under “Misc tunes.” Treat the attribution as a catalogue lead rather than proof of authorship, and check the score itself if the composer credit matters for your purposes.

Reading the opening details

The Praetorius-credited listing records an opening key of F major (one flat) in 4/4. The anonymous Bourrée listing records no sharps or flats in 2/4. These details describe the opening only and may not reflect later key or metre changes in the music.

Choosing a score

Select the Praetorius-credited score if you want the attributed version listed in F major and 4/4, or the anonymous Bourrée if you want the listing in 2/4 with no sharps or flats.

Spelling: Bourrée and Bourrée

The page uses both “Bourrée” and “Bourrée.” The spelling change accompanies different listings, including the anonymous Bourrée, and is not evidence by itself that every listing refers to the same piece.

Common questions

Which composer is credited with the Bourrée sheet music?

Two of the Bourrée listings are credited to Michael Praetorius, while a third is listed without a composer under “Misc tunes.” Catalogue attributions are a starting point rather than proof, so check the individual score if authorship matters.

What opening key and metre are recorded for the Bourrée scores?

The Praetorius-credited Bourrée listing records an opening of F major (one flat) in 4/4, while the anonymous Bourrée listing records no sharps or flats in 2/4. These details describe the opening only and may not reflect later changes.

Are the two Praetorius-labelled Bourrée scores different arrangements?

The two Praetorius-labelled scores share the same title and opening details, so they may be duplicate listings rather than separate arrangements.

Is Bourrée the same as Bourrée?

The page includes both “Bourrée” and “Bourrée” spellings. In this collection the spelling change accompanies different listings, including an anonymous Bourrée, and it is not evidence that every spelling refers to the same piece.

How should I choose between the available Bourrée scores?

Choose the Praetorius-credited score if you want the attributed version listed in F major and 4/4, or the anonymous Bourrée if you want the listing in 2/4 with no sharps or flats. Check the score and title details, because the listings do not provide enough evidence to compare difficulty, instrumentation or completeness.
