Suite in G minor

Marin Marais (31 May 1656, in Paris – 15 August 1728, in Paris) was a French composer and viol player. He studied composition with Jean-Baptiste Lully, often conducting his operas, and with master of the bass viol Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe for six months. In 1676 he was hired as a musician to the royal court of  Versailles and was moderately successful there, being appointed in 1679 as ordinaire de la chambre du roy pour la viole, a title he kept until 1725.

Schott's edition of Marin Marais's 'Suite in G minor' for two flutes (or treble recorders) and basso continuo includes a basso part for cello or bassoon as well as a fully realized piano accompaniment part.
