NOTE: The music for Montfleury's play Le Mary sans femme most likely was written by Robert Cambert (ca. 1627-1677) for the first performance in c. 1664. This edition is based in part on an expanded revision of the original music, probably by Jean-Claude Gillier (1667-1737), prepared for a revival of the play in 1695.
