I just cannot express in words how much this particular piece, especially the sung bits, delights me. Inexpressible, wonderful pleasure.

I have. (And Couperin senior and junior, Martin Marais, and Charpentier as well.) But I would remind you that round our parts we call him Lulli - Giovambattista Lulli. No need to encourage the French habit to annexate everything in sight.

Sorry, you are right. Marais's given name was Marin, btw. Lulli's music is insurmountable IMHO. I like his opera chaconnes in particular.
