When Lully died in 1687 leaving his tragédie en musique Achille et Polyxène unfinished, Collasse completed the last four acts of the score.

Is a French composer born in Nancy. He is one of France's best-known living composers; his works have been performed worldwide[1]. He studied fine art, science and aesthetics at the Sorbonne in Paris. At the suggestion of Franco Donatoni he attended the seminars of Iannis Xenakis from 1974 until 1978[2].
