Amédée Borsari (23 December 1905 – 21 June 1999) was a French composer.

Life

Born in Paris, Borsari began piano studies with Georges Falkenberg,[1] and harmony with Charles Silver at the Conservatoire de Paris. He then worked with Vincent d'Indy at the Schola Cantorum de Paris. Abandoning the principles of the schola in the mid-1930s, he composed in a clear and sober style that is in keeping with the French tradition of the first half of the 20th century. His work has been awarded several prizes.

Borsari died in Eaubonne (Val-d'Oise).
