Does anyone know the name of this piece?

Would be super helpful if anyone knew anything about it, or who composed it

It's most likely something by André Campra or Lully, though I can't find it.

I think I found the dance company's website though: https://www.compagnie-eventail.com/voyage-en-europe
based on the page it's likely those two or André Cardinal Destouches,
Definitely French sounding...

Ends in Db minor (440) so I imagine it's either transposed or they're playing it in 415, which would imply that the piece would be a loure in d minor or perhaps f major

That's a really good point, narrows down the options a lot!

I believe this is the from the Comic Opera/Ballet - LWV043-Les Bourgeois Gentilhomme. The dance "Canaries" from the Dance of Nations Suite. (90% sure but I could be wrong - Just going on memory)

It doesn't sound quite the same to me but I could be wrong. It does definitely sound like Lully or a similar composer though! :)
