The bourree was a dance common in Auvergne and Biscay in Spain in the 17th century, danced in quick double time, somewhat resembling the gavotte. The musical form was also used by some composers, often as a dance-movement in a suite, but also for independent pieces.


Fr ric Chopin composed two bourrees for the piano. Johann Sebastian Bach wrote two short bourrees in his Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach.
