Untitled piece for theorbo (a.k.a. gigantic guitar!)

Hi to all!

Have been trying to compose a piece for theorbo, and am finding it really hard!

Mainly because of the 8 unfretted strings, that can't be tuned to accidentals.

That seems to limit me to the 7 modes of C major; or something bitonal or atonal.

Anyhow, I've posted two versions below.

The first is what I wanted to write, and the second has been bent out of shape to eliminate accidentals on the lower strings.

Am thinking I may have to throw the whole thing out, and start again!
