Spending most of his life in service to French King Louis XIV, Marin Marais (1656-1728) was one of the premier bass viola da gamba players of the Baroque Period and a respected composer. Of his compositions, the viol pieces stand out, since he composed more than 550 of them. His Pieces en trio are credited as the introduction of the trio sonata to France.
