Les Indes Galantes (French: "The Amorous Indies") is an opera by Jean-Philippe Rameau. It takes the form of an opéra-ballet with a prologue and (in its final form) four entrées (acts). Following an allegorical prologue, the four entrées have distinct and separate plots, but are unified by the theme of love in exotic places (The Ottoman Empire, Peru, Persia, and North America).

Rameau wrote several versions between 1735 and 1736 and the opera enjoyed eventually many successful performances. As it often happens, an orchestral suite was composed with the most famous pieces: however, there are quite a few different versions of the suite, including one re-orchestrated by none other than Paul Dukas.

The current version makes use of material both from 1735 and from 1736 and it includes the following parts:

Prologue
Entrée de 4 nations
Air pour les esclaves africains
Musette
Air pour deux Polonais
Menuet
Contradanse
Ritournelle pour le Turc genereux
Tambourines I
Tambourines II
Air des Incas
Air pour les sauvages
Chaconne

This arrangement is for 2 oboes, 1 percussion (timpano/tambourine) and strings.
Bowings are included in both score and parts.

In the video, one of the most famous pieces: "
Air pour les sauvages"

Enjoy!
