Steve,
Normally these pieces are played on the theorbo, so if it definitely
was a baroque guitar being played, they must have been arrangements. I
know Maxwell Davis's Farewell to Stromness, although I haven't heard it
for a decade or so. I seem to recall it is a set of variations on a
passacaglia. Doesn't sound to me particularly like any of the
arpegiattas or canarios by Kapsberger, but I suppose there would be a
similarity with his passacaglias. It might well fit the lute. The
guitar version had to miss out much of the interesting dissonance of
the piano original. Nice tune, though. Go ahead and make an attempt,
then let us know the result.

Dear Collected Wisdom,
I just heard a fellow playing a baroque guitar solo on the radio.
It
was something called Arpegiatt and Canarios, by Kapsberger. The
Canarios sounded rather similar to the modern piano piece,
Farewell to
Stromness, which we may know as a guitar piece. I've thought for
a
long time it might be interesting on the lute.
Anybody know anything about this one?
TIA,
Steve
