Indeed - double stringing precludes most avantgardist mannerisms.
But the d-minor lute should be adaptable to some form of (post)minimalism.

Unfortunately, modern music needs playing on the highest level, including
a well tuned instrument.
I'm wonderig if, besides of the superstition of the tablature, the double
stringing of the lute isn't another obstacle in activating a lute to do
what cpmposer/performer wants to do. Notice that a single strung theorbo
survives in company with other instruments, whereas double strung lute has
problems.
Besides, the d-m tuning has great and still unexplored potency, against
Peter Croton's reluctance to it

and especially Paolo Cherici's view on its usebility

Hi Stephan, dear all,
http://www.modernlutemusic.com/
I don't remember if there is something for d-minor lute on this site,
but interesting anyway.
There is for example
http://www.modernlutemusic.com/AMORIC__MICHEL.html
some pieces for the dm-lute
even with a tablature of "Blancrocher XXI", unfortunately without the
related Hupfauf "Blancmanger XVII" ;)
I have the whole CD! Doesn't rock at first listening :)

What about the pieces by Toyohiko Satoh, dear David?
He knows the idiom for sure, and I believe he also has something to say,
musically.
best regards
Bernd
