Les Voix Humaines is a renowned early music ensemble that specializes in the repertoire for viola da gamba. Named after a composition by the French viola da gamba player Marin Marais, the group was founded by two eminent gambists, Margaret Little and Susie Napper, in Montreal, Canada. Since its inception, Les Voix Humaines has been celebrated for its rich, expressive performances and its dedication to the historically informed presentation of early music.

With an extensive discography, Les Voix Humaines has explored the intricate and often intimate works of Baroque and Renaissance composers, breathing new life into their compositions with a blend of technical precision and emotive play. The ensemble's recordings cover an impressive range of works, including the profound and complex "Bach: The Art of Fugue," the melancholic beauty of "Dowland: Lachrimae," and the hauntingly evocative "Le Monde de Sainte-Colombe." They are particularly noted for their interpretations of French Baroque music, as shown in their series of releases focused on the works of Sainte-Colombe, as well as their arrangements of Couperin and Marais for two viols. Les Voix Humaines' commitment to deep musical exploration is evident in their nuanced and atmospheric recordings, which have garnered them international acclaim and solidified their place as one of the foremost viol ensembles in the world of early music.
