Tomkins composed this piece for keyboard and in the manuscript where it appears he has written the date February 14 1649. Some commentators think that it could well have been to mark the anniversary of the execution of Charles I (the discrepancy in dates being due to changes in calendars and Old Style and New Style dates).
There is a very beautiful rendition by Carole Cerasi playing on a muselaar virginal on her 2001 CD released by Metronome. I don't know whether there has ever been a transcription for lute ensemble though.
