Some of the best baroque lied composers, indeed, but I cannot see
their connection to the lute (except for Jakob Kremberg, of course,
whom I shouldn't see among the first of that order, though).

The connection is the simplest posiible - these are continuo songs,
most probably for home use, small audience, private entertainment,
like solo lute music of the period, from Reusner to Hagen. Do all the
people then had two instruments at home, and the other one for
continuo was obligatory an archlute or big theorbo??? Nonsense!
