Hi everyone,

I'm very curious to know what your top three lute (vihuela, etc.) pieces 
are and why.

I'm interested in expanding my knowledge of the vast reams of lute 
tablature and trying to play through the Fronimo Dialogo doesn't seem to 
be cutting it ...

I'll start of with my own list:

1. Francesco da Milano - Fantasia from the Castelfranco MS.

This piece appears as the first track of Paul O'Dette's "Dolcissima et 
Amorosa". Four minutes of the best Francesco has to offer, I'd love to 
get a hold of the tab somehow.

2. Luis Narvaez - Variations on "O Gloriosa Domina".

Long after "Guardame las Vacas" becomes old hat you can continue to 
drink from this fountain. A cantus firmus runs through all the 
variations. The penultimate variation is my favorite.

3. Diomedes Cato - Fantasia sopra "la Canzon degli Ucelli"

Actually a fugue on a very simple subject, but what a development of 
deep ideas! It's on O'Dette's Cherbury CD and it's the reason I must 
eventually own a 10c lute.

Best regards,
David
