Rhapsodie

This work was written in 1997 and one year later the composer

- Euterpe, Muse of music and lyric poetry
- Erato, Muse of amatory lyric poetry
- Melpomene, Muse of tragedy
- Calliope, Muse of epic poetry
- Clio, Muse of history
- Urania, Muse of astronomy
- Terpsichore, Muse of choral song and dance
- Polyhymnia, Muse of mime and sublime lyric
- Thalia, Muse of comedy and pastoral poetry
