Omer, I'm sure there are lots of people on this list who will recommend pieces from the lists you mention. If I miss the point of that, it's because I don't see it that way. To me, part of my education into lute playing is learning about the historical sources of the music, and where they can be found. Wayne's Lute Page and Sarge's website contain very convenient lists of pieces, but they are not designd to be a substitute for the historical source material. At least I hope not anyway. To find the historical sources, you have to do a little research, and also be willing to spend some money. My recommendation is: if you seriously want to find out about English lute music, contact the English Lute Society, the Lute Society of America, or for that matter any of the lute societies, and find out from them where the sources of the music can be found.
