Hi again, lute gangs, I advertised my tiny Santino Garsi da Parma "editions", see below. In a way those pieces are not the most important compositions ever made, but anyhow they are "good music" in some sense of the word. And to me those pieces belong to the same genre with the Doni ms.: Archlute really was used also so that you play the "continuo" by plain bass notes and you just add the melody. And some harmonies here and there, if and when convenient... This way all - really nearly the ALL! - the baroque solo-continuo stuff is playable by an archlute! Or why not also by the "d-minor axe". So make your arrangements. You'll never lack material! :-)
