..., Thomas ( c. 1557–1602 ), composer . He studied with William Byrd and became a proponent, publisher, and imitator of the new Italian madrigal style (which Byrd did not care for).

Much speculation, based on little evidence, has taken place over the extent of Morley ’s collaboration and possible friendship with Shakespeare. The two have been linked through the composer’s setting of ‘It...
