This is the D major suite pour le couchet de roi - one of the less well known, and less desirable tasks for court musicians. Even Marais had to scurry around composing music to accompany the king while he was prepared for bed! We may think of Marais as a creator of incredibly rich and varied music for his own instrument, but it's nice to be reminded that he could do equally beautiful work for small ensemble.
Given that those were the first pieces in history to feature the flûte traversière I am sorry to see (and hear!) they are using much later flutes with a very different sound than those intended (and even depicted on the original cover!) by Marais.
