If you play the 5 course (baroque) guitar then you'll see that Purcell
asks for a couple of dances for this instrument so this will best fit
the composer's intentions - as well as having audience appeal. Select
a chaconne and another piece by, say, Corbetta and this will work
very well in performance.
Peter Holman, with whom I've frequently played continuo in D&A,
believes Purcell expected guitar continuo for much of this
particular work.

Subject: [LUTE] Purcell
I have been asked to play on Purcell's Dido (modern orchestra at 442
with my little 8 course - ok, we can skip this part) and the
conductor
asked for a solo lute piece by Purcell or someone in the same style.
Is
there any dance tune of him transcribed for renaissance lute? I
thought
that maybe a saraband by Puccinini might work...
Any advice is welcomed!
