Here are two fairly short works that I particularly enjoy playing lute
continuo on:
Handel's Ombra mai fu (his most popular aria)--there is also a version
by Bononcini which is also nice with lute
Ombra mai fu is in F major, but you can move it up a tone to G Major if
you are playing in A tuning, and in this key it is very good with
soprano.
We transposed it to E Flat Major for countertenor.

The other work is the JC Bach Lamento--in G Minor it lies really very
well for archlute or Theorbo in G tuning; transposed up a tone to A
Minor it is super on the theorbo and also lies better for soprano.
