Some of the movements from Poulenc's piano suite with dances from Gervaise (can't remember it's called) I arranged for lute as well, and pair them with the 'original' dances. Here I feel the dissonances work quite well on lute; they don't feel gratuitous to me. ;-)
They sound interesting! I used to really like those pieces. Any chance of seeing your arrangements?
I've been trying to revive my faltering efforts at playing with a plectrum and playing these fine tunes from Gervaise. Maybe a simple lute arrangement of the bottom three lines and the tune on a treble plectrum-plucked instrument would sound OK. (And, of course there are the four-course guitar versions too - old and new)
