Hey- Marco Dall Aquila! A giant among faves, and of course Capirola. And
in the "Intabolatura de Leuto de Diversi Autori" of Castelioni we also
have 2 magnificent, intriguingly mysterious fantasias by the once famed
gambist & lutenist Jacobo Albutio.

All good faves so far. The ones I love & and haven't been named yet
are Simone Molinaro and his uncle Giovanni Battista dalla Gostena.
Fantasias of Terzi'really aren't all that daunting if you approach
them calmly, without fear, and go slowly at first. Same can be said in
regard to Albert de Rippe. And let's not forget Giacomo Gorzanis. Some
repetitiveness and a little sloppy here and there, but when he rocks
he rocks. And, painful or not, Mel Newsidler is well worth the
effort. Even if one can't get his most challenging ball-breakers up to
speed, it will improve your range & grasp of fingering to work his
stuff seriously.
And one of our most prolific composers, the man (or woman) of a
thousand faces and more than human lifespan- Anonymous!

I’m currently partial to the intabulators who took on the work of
Archadelt. There's Vindella’s all Acadelt book (1546), the many
variations of “Quand’io pens’al martir” and even the chansons for
voice and renaissance guitar (A. LeRoy, Cinqiesme Livre). And
Crecquillon, non Papa, Pathie, deRore, Lasso and ….
.. who am I kidding? I enjoy most all the vocal pieces set for lute.
Ok, all the ones I can play, anyway. Phalese (’63, ’68) and Paladin
sometimes stay on the stand for months.

ps, Tristan, there’s a nice Pathie set by the mysterious B.M. in Siena.

Here's a poll for Renaissance Lutists -
what do you consider most rewarding to play in terms of playability
combined with beauty?
So far, I love Francesco da Milano and most anonymous pieces from
the Siena Ms., they never get tiresome and lie gently on the hands.
Also Hans Neusiedler and Luis Milan.
Not in this category: Albert de Rippe. Amazing music, but honestly,
did this guy have six fingers on each hand??
What are your favourites? Is there any obscure repertoire to discover?
