- Bassano composed at least five fantasias for viols. Four are five-part works and one is composed for six instruments.
- Bassano’s fantasias probably date from approximately 1550-1575.
- Bassano appears to have been a member of a viol consort among his duties for the royal English court, so that might be where he performed this work. 1
