Robert Johnson
Robert Johnson was an English composer and lutenist active in the early 17th century, known for his graceful lute songs and instrumental works. He worked closely with William Shakespeare's acting company, the King's Men, providing music for many of their productions. Johnson's music often accompanied Shakespeare's plays, including famous songs like "Where the Bee Sucks" and "Full Fathom Five" from The Tempest.
He served as a court musician for both James I and Charles I, and his work captures the delicate and expressive style of late Renaissance and early Baroque England. His ability to set poetry to music was especially admired, and today his compositions are cherished by early music performers for their lyrical beauty and historical significance.
