Where can I know the history of this music pieces Giga by Jean Baptise Loeillet?

Question

Any site that provide background information about music pieces will be most grateful.

Answer 1

I should imagine Loeillet wrote a numbers of 'gigas' or gigues as they were a common form in the baroque period. Which piece of his do you particularly refer to? Is is part of a larger suite - which gigues often were (see Bach's Orchestral suites etc.)
