GUEST,Ian P	'May' in Morris dancing? (31)	'May' in Morris dancing?	05 Dec 04
I am a lute player who has conme across a small smattering of Morris-related titles in Renaissance lute manuscripts (including a couple of pieces just called 'The Moris' (sic)). Thomas Robinson (nothing to do with 2-4-6-8-Motorway) composed a tune called 'Robinson's May' which has a small half-speed section like a caper, so it got me to thinking: Is this connected with Morris? Is the title significant? Are there 'other'(?) Morris pieces with May in the title? Does this signify Maying customs or a particular style of dancing? Morris dancers please help. Thanks.
