Ensemble Molière, the first ever BBC Radio 3 New Generation Baroque Ensemble, presents a rich and varied soundtrack of music dedicated to every moment of the Sun King’s day, by some of the leading French Baroque composers of the time.

What better way to wake up than the Ouverture from Charpentier’s Les Arts Florissants? Extracts from Lully’s Phaëton as the sun rises, a little Couperin as one goes about daily business, a Simphonie pour les soupers du Roy by Delalande to accompany supper, dance music from the Ballet Royal de la Nuit and a suite to dream to from Marais’ Trios pour le coucher du Roy.
