...Representative composers include W. Byrd (1543-1623), T. Morley (1557-1602), J. Dowland, O. Gibbons, T. Weelkes (c. 1575-1623), J. Wilbye (1574-1638), T. Campion (1567-1620), P. Rosseter (1568-1623), T. Tomkins (1572-1656), and J. Bull (c. 1562-1628) and P. Philips (1561-1628), who emigrated to the continent. Meanwhile, the popularity of Shakespeare's plays led to a rise in dramatic music, and a pageant-like art form called masque, which focused on music and dance, became popular. This saw the success of artists such as Campion and the Lawes brothers (H. Lawes (1596-1662) and W. Lawes (1602-45)). However, this golden age of history was temporarily interrupted by the Puritan Revolution in the mid-17th century.
