There is also a Dowland duet for lute and bass viol (if you do end up
taking your lute!) ... it's at the end of one of his lute song books
although I do have a pdf of the original (and my own working edition
of it) if anyone is interested ...

I am searching for some music for renaissance viol and theorbo...
A theorbo being a baroque instrument and a renaissance viol a, well,
renaissance instrument, you'll have to compromise somewhere, but this
should not distract you in any way from playing beautiful music
together.
16th century music
Ortiz, but not the diminutions on the four-part madrigals/chansons, as
these are not really for theorbe. If you can manage nonetheless, all
the better for you, obviously. I prefer to play this music on a
renaissance lute.
Around 1600
Simpson is great. As are Italian diminutions by e.g. Rogniniono, Dalla
Casa et al. Again, take care with the intabulated polyphony, that can
be so hard on theorbo. Or bring your renaissance lute as an easy
escape.
If your viol player doesn't mind later music, go for Marais and lose
yourself in his beautiful music.
Want to go really modern? Abel or C. Ph. E. Bach. So good!
So much to choose from, enjoy!
