Le Coucher Du Roi: Music For Louis Xiv's Chamber

Night is falling. In this twilight of the reign of Louis XIV and at the end of his Grand Coucher, the king is at last free from protocol. He then orders the musicians of the King’s Chamber to come to him; they are the most excellent in the kingdom. These “Petits Concerts” which were held in the evening before His Majesty enabled the king to hear his preferred repertoire from all that he had loved and even danced to.
