About Pascal Collasse
- 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.
