Leaping Trout, The

Jig · 6/8 · D major

The Leaping Trout is a popular modern double jig in six-eight meter and the key of D major composed by the renowned Irish flute player and composer Vincent Broderick. The tune is characterized by its lively, bounding melody that aptly reflects its aquatic title and requires a nimble, articulate finger style typical of traditional Irish dance music. Although it does not have a deep historical association tied to older events, it has become a well-established standard within the modern Irish traditional repertoire.
