	Marin Marais - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marin Marais (31 May 1656, Paris – 15 August 1728, Paris) was a pupil of Jean-Baptiste Lully and of the viol player Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe.
		He was hired as a musician in 1676 to the royal court of Versailles.
		He featured as a central character in the film Tous les matins du monde (1991), which is an atmospheric meticulously imagined life of Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, and Marais' music figured prominently in that film.

	MARIN MARAIS, Biography, Discography
		Marin Marais was the central figure in the French school of bass-viol composers and performers that flourished during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
		Marais entered the royal orchestra as a soloist in 1685 and about the same time became a member of the orchestra of the Acadèmie Royale de Musique.
		Although Marais' operas, trio sonatas, and other compositions were widely performed during his lifetime, the most significant part of his musical output is represented by the five books of Pièces de Violes that he produced over a period of forty years, between 1686 and 1725.

	Marin Marais
		Marin Marais, now renowned among all lovers of music as one of the supreme masters of the Baroque period, was born in Paris in 1656.
		Despite his youth, the young Marin Marais, clearly gifted, was taken on at an early age as a pupil by Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, the preeminent violist da gamba of the period; later he was accepted as a student by the celebrated composer, Jean-Baptiste Lully.
		Marais slipped under the cabin where he could hear Sainte Colombe and profit from his approach to certain passages and bow strokes that masters of the art like to keep to themselves." There is a certain piquancy in this image of Marais spying on his elder.

		Marais slipped under the cabin; he could hear his master, and profit from special passages and bow movements that the masters of the art like to keep to themselves.
		The book recalls the known fact that Marais sung as a boy in a choir, and was kicked out when his voice changed: his love of the viol is then explained as a "transfer" to a new voice.
		Austerity (the first word uttered by Marais as he starts remembering his master) is the key word here, in the literary as well as pictorial references, the flip side of the Grand Siècle and the magnificence of Louis XIV.

		Marais, known as one of the greatest violists of his era, was performing in Lully's of his era, was performing in Lully's orchestra at the court of Louis XIV by the time he was twenty and soon became the "time beater" at the opera.
		In applying for Sainte Colombe's tutelage, he tells of a life where childhood has been lost (he has spent practically all his formative years as a choir boy) and an environment that is unpleasant and noisy (his father is a shoemaker and at their house hide is soaked in vats of urine to soften it).
		Marais becomes successful, marries, fathers children (thirteen of them, to be exact), and enjoys the adulation of his students.

	Palladian Ensemble, on Saint Paul Sunday
		One of the most celebrated viol virtuosos was French composer Marin Marais (1656-1728), born in Paris, one of the central figures in the French school of bass viol players.
		Marais did produce four operas of his own, but essentially devoted himself to the viol and spent 46 years in the employ of King Louis XIV as royal violist - the King apparently liked to hear the viol while he dined.
		These five volumes mark Marais out not only as the most prolific but also the most inventive and expressive composer for the viola da gamba.

		Although most of his oeuvre was intended in the first instance for his own instrument, Marais took great pains to explain that he had endeavored to make his music playable on other instruments, including "an oboe."
		He was entirely free, according to Marais' texts, to transpose the themes and adapt his ornamentation and performance to suit his chosen instrument.

		This is one of Savall's best recordings as a conductor, a fact which has won ample recognition from both critics and audiences.
		Marais, a composer for whom Savall feels an undisguised predilection, is here revealed as an extremely effective composer of orchestral music who fully mastered the mode's wealth of timbres, and who doubtless had a later influence on the peculiarly French taste for colour.
		With its elegance and its attention to even the smallest detail, this is an absolutely essential CD with a carefully balanced mix that allows everything to be heard, a phrasing that is molto cantabile and a grandiosity that is almost symphonic (if I may be permitted the anachronism).

		Then a young man, Marin was initially rejected by Sainte Colombe, but managed to win the heart of his daughter, Madeleine.
