Hi all
Perhaps my very old (1994!) "lute continuo school" is for some help to
continuo beginners? See

Geoff,
Many thanks for your note. I can see that the real solution for my
children is simply to forge ahead with the figured bass, otherwise it
won't be possible!
Meanwhile, Arto Wikla sent me a PDF of the Robert Dowland score, for
which I am very grateful.

I am looking for repertoire for organ and lute -- either purely

from figured bass. If any of you has seen or produced something
like
that, I'd be excited to see it.
Hi Peter,
Lute and small organ together was a very common continuo
combination, especially in England in the 17th century. It works
really well because the two instruments compliment each other
perfectly: the lute has a precise attack but can't sustain, while
the organ sustains but lacks a precise attack. Unfortunately there
are very few if any written out realizations.
A particular question:
Has anyone seen Caccini's "Amarilli, mia bella" written out in
tablature for a 6-course lute?
Robert Dowland published a tablature edition of this song in his
1610 book "A Musical Banquet," available in a modern facsimile.
It's probably also at [2]imslp.org, but their web site seems to be
down today.
