in the Elizabethan period, renaissance music was the music of the time (1400-1600). this of course was pre baroque music, the earliest period of music we know much about.

this included composers such as Gabrielli, Birchois etc. Gabrielli is the most well known. lots of antiphonal music was composed in this musical period.

The Golden Age was a highlight in English history, synonymous with the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Often referred to as the Elizabethan Era, this period witnessed the peak of English Renaissance; a time when literature, art, music and theatre blossomed. The Elizabethans loved to have a good time and enjoyed entertainment, dancing and feasting. Like no other period in history, music reflected the emotions and events of the day. The Golden Age saw the birth of Opera, the Masque and the Anthem, with the opening of many divine music schools. Remarkable Elizabethan composers - Wiliam Byrd, John Farmer, John Dowland, Thomas Tallis, Orlando Gibbons and Thomas Campion, gave new life to Music Genres such as court, theatre, street, church and town. Elizabeth was also a Lady of the Renaissance, who had a flair for poetry and a love of music.
