Now Is the Month of Maying

Now is the month of maying is one of the most famous of the English balletts (a light dancelike part song similar to a madrigal, frequently with a 'fa-la-la' chorus). It was written by Thomas Morley and published in 1595. It is based on the canzonet ''So ben mi ch'a bon tempo'' used by Orazio Vecchi in his 1590 ''Selva di varia ricreatione''.〔Phillip Ledger (ed) ''The Oxford Book of English Madrigals'' (1978) Oxford University Press, and co-issued recording, by Pro Cantione Antiqua
The song delights in bawdy double-entendre. It is apparently about spring dancing, but this is a metaphor for sex. For example, a "barley-break" would have suggested outdoor sexual activity (rather like we might say a "roll in the hay"). The use of such imagery and puns increased during the Renaissance.〔"Renaissance Love Songs Study Guide" by Prof. Paul Brians at Washington State University ()〕
The ballett forms a key part of Oxford's May Morning celebrations, where the choir of Magdalen College sing the verses from the roof of the college's Great Tower.
