Some of the English Renaissance dudes were really Catholic, but posed as Anglican as a cover. It’s fine. We’ll take it.

Yep, Byrd and Tallis were both unreconstructed Catholics.

They weren't shy about it either, but the royals knew better than to mess with them. They just looked the other way.

I don't know about Morley or about my new find -- Thomas Weelkes. We sang his "Alleluia - I Heard A Voice" recently, and it's like skyrockets going off all over the place. You can hear a snippet of it here.
