Frédéric Borceux: Papa Ours, double bass and piano

About the Composition

“Papa Ours” is a one‑movement piece that moves between long melancholic phrases and more relaxed passages. An intimate, poetic work where you need to enjoy harmonics. The piano gently supports the full sensitivity of the double bass.

At the end of the score, you’ll find a short text (in French) that follows the music. It offers a playful way to introduce the double bass.

Duration: about 10 minutes.

His work is nourished by twenty years of experience as a piano accompanist in music and dance within various conservatories, a background that naturally resonates through his chamber music pieces.
