Best Answer

Oh, yes. William Byrd was probably the most famous of them. Thomas Morley is another one. His setting of Shakespeare's lyric "It was a lover and his lass" is still the most popular tune to that lyric. Morley's Ballets are some of the best-known pieces of Elizabethan music, still extremely accessible today.

Songwriting, especially in the form of madrigals, was huge in Elizabethan England and there were a large number of fine composers in this form who lived then.
