I play it as follows:

Gander in the Pratie Hole (D mix)
Blackthorn Stick (G)
Rolling Wave

Do you all play it with the c nat or c sharp? I learned it with the c nat but it seems like a lot of people around here play c# instead.

I play The Rolling Waves/The Humours of Trim with C sharps. C naturals sound a bit off to me for this tune, but that's what I think.

I don't play it exactly like this version, but it's very similar:

X:1
T:Rolling Wave, The
B:Dance Music of Willie Clancy (Dublin 1976)
Z:Nigel Gatherer
N:rough transcription only
M:6/8
R:Jig
L:1/8
K:D

If I didn't start it I go with the consensus. . . I usually stick with Cnat on my own. But not always. . .

I first heard The Humors of Trim played using C#, so that's how I'm imprinted for it. It was from The Chieftains, as I recall. Their liner notes called it The Rolling Wave, and I believe they did a slip jig variation on it on the track, too (which is sort of brilliant as it makes a nod to the fact that its unusual phrasing makes The Humors of Trim *seem* like a slip jig). Never heard the Cnat version until a couple of years ago. I was like, "What's up with that???" And they were like, "Tommy Peoples plays it that way. So there."

P.S. Everyone around here calls it The Rolling Wave, too. I refuse to succumb.

Always after a bit o' Trim, eh?

"The Humors of a Bit of Trim"...that would be its name from The Devil's ITM Tunebook. It's where I learned The Earl's Stool and Swinging on a Gibbet.

i've heard a brilliant tommy peoples set starting with "rolling wave," followed by the three-part jig, "maid at the spinning wheel."

I like playing "The Roaring Barmaid" after "Humours of Trim."
