And if you have access to it, Princess Anne's Lute Book includes arrangements of about 20 pieces from Purcell's stage works of the 1690s including one piece that might just possibly be one of those played during a performance of Dido. Monica

Select a chaconne and another piece by, say, Corbetta and this will work very well in performance. Peter Holman, with whom I've frequently played continuo in D&A, believes Purcell expected guitar continuo for much of this particular work.

Is there any dance tune of him transcribed for renaissance lute? I thought that maybe a saraband by Puccinini might work...
