About Bastiano Chilese
Bastiano Chilese (fl. 1608) is an extremely obscure Italian Renaissance-era composer whose name survives principally through a single early printed instrumental-music context: the Venetian anthology Canzoni per sonare con ogni sorte di stromenti issued in 1608 by Alessandro Raverii. In that collection Chilese is credited with at least one instrumental canzona, Canzon vigesimaseconda à 5, written for five parts with basso continuo (open instrumentation), a genre and scoring typical of the early seventeenth-century Venetian market for ensemble “canzoni da sonar.” Beyond this 1608 print, biographical documentation (birthplace, institutional posts, dates) does not appear to be securely recoverable from commonly available reference sources, and modern mentions tend to treat him as a name attached to the surviving piece(s) rather than as a reconstructible career; one modern programme listing also associates him with a work titled Proposta d’Echo, reinforcing that his footprint is primarily repertorial rather than biographical.
