During the renaissance era, recorder and lute players could join for any music, provided the compasses of the instruments weren't exceeded, as composers would not specify which instruments could execute their (mostly vocal) music. The same applies for the baroque, more or less. There is distinct music for the recorder and thorough bass, though, and probably more than one of the several lute instruments may suit for the thorough bass (D-minor-lute, archlute, theorobos). The only music explicitly written for the recorder and the D-minor-lute, that I'm aware of, is a suite per flauto dolce e liuto by E.G. Baron.
