Thanks all,
I guess the performance aspect is also important as I would like to
carry the tome with me for ad-hoc concerts for interested people and to
be able to answer
all questions about lute music by just pulling the pieces instead of
trying to explain with words...
So I just decided to try making groups of flavours with fantasies,
chansons/madrigals and dances,
and try to order these "suites" chronologically.
This is still quite a task, as French Chansons are popular everywhere,
but the diminutions and ornaments are flavoured...
Also I wonder how I would integrate all my favourite fantasies and
ricercars into that concept...
When finished, I'll send it to Sarge (all the pieces will come from the
archive anyway) to be made available for all on his site, if he is ok
with it.
I only have a 7 course lute, so naturally some interesting later stuff
will not be in it.

I think country of origin makes sense - different countries each seem to have
their own ‘flavor’, and keeping ‘flavors grouped makes sense in cooking as well
as music :-)
I hope you share your endeavors, I am most interested to see what you have
chosen; you seem to explore many pieces of music.
Best wishes

Haha :)
Nice one, but I already have a hard time choosing the pieces.
There are just so many good ones. :)
So all pieces finally ending up in the book are "5/5 stars" or "perfect
10s".

How about ordering in ascending/descending order of your ‘favouriteness’ ;-)

Here's a "problem" to which any ideas are welcome:
I'm preparing a lute book for myself that shall contain all my favourite
pieces, about 500 pages.
I am still struggling with the order the pieces.
Apart from solvable problems like page turns of pieces with more than 2
pages, I am not sure what concept is the best.
There's plenty of possibilities:
* by date of sources - useful for experiencing history, offers a nice
mixture of genres within
* in alphabetical order of the composer (though this would make A as in
anonymous the biggest part...)
* by country of origin
* by genre (as in historical prints - Fantasies, Chansons and Madrigals,
Motets, Dances)
* a mixture of those above
Any experiences/suggestions are welcome.
