Although Shakespeare lived in an era where there was a lot of English secular music composed, religious music was mostly very traditional in the Catholic style. Some English Hymns (especially what are called "verse anthems") were composed for the Anglican service by composers such as William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons, John Bull and Thomas Tomkins.
