Perhaps not as profound as a Weiss tombeau, but I simply like the sound of much 
of Dalla Casa's archlute music, and he saw fit to include several works for 
mandolino/mandola as well.  Worth a listen to judge for one's self:

Subject: [LUTE] Bad lute music

Hi everyone,
I have set up a transcription project for the Filippo Dalla Casa Bologna 
manuscript -- see http://fandango.musickshandmade.com/dalla-casa.
I am a little concerned however that many people seem to think that music is 
really, really bad... - so bad that it is not worth transcribing from grand 
staff to tablature, thus keeping it in the safe zone of the not seen, not heard 
until the end of times (and perhaps beyond, if at all possible) I personally 
find that music not worse than average -  I know little about the 1760s 
music-wise... Am I the only one with such bad taste in music I cannot recognize 
"bad music"????
What makes bad lute music? Does it even exist? What - or who - comes to mind? 
Have you met with it? What do you think about the Dalla Casa music (some of 
which is not by him)? Do you think he should have stuck to his painter's 
brushes?
Alain
PS: bad French joke: Beethoven was so deaf that all his life he thought he was 
a painter...
