Pascal Collasse (or Colasse) (22 January 1649 (baptised) – 17 July 1709) was a French composer of the Baroque era. Born in Rheims, Collasse became a disciple of Jean-Baptiste Lully during the latter's domination of the French operatic stage. When Lully died in 1687 leaving his tragédie en musique ''Achille et Polyxène'' unfinished, Collasse completed the last four acts of the score. He went on to produce around a dozen operas and ballets, as well as sacred music, including settings of the ''Cantiques spirituels'' of Jean Racine. His plan to establish his own opera house in Lille ended in failure when the theatre burnt down. He dabbled in alchemy with even less success. His musical style is close to that of Lully. ==Works== * ''Achille et Polyxène'', tragédie lyrique, (overture and first act by Jean-Baptiste Lully) 1687 * ''Thétis et Pélée'', tragédie lyrique, 1689 * ''Énée et Lavinie'', tragédie lyrique, 1690 * ''Astrée'', tragédie lyrique, 1691 * ''Le Ballet de Villeneuve-Saint-Georges'', ballet, 1692 * ''Les saisons'', opéra-ballet, 1695 * ''La naissance de Vénus'', 1696 * ''Jason ou La toison d’or'', tragédie lyrique, 1696 * ''Canente'', tragédie lyrique, 1700 * ''Polyxène et Pirrhus'', tragédie lyrique, 1706 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pascal Collasse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
