Trip To Berkeley

Jig · 6/8 · D major

Trip To Berkeley is a traditional jig in six-eight meter and D major whose exact composer and historical origins are not reliably recorded. Driven by a lively and rhythmic momentum characteristic of traditional Irish and Celtic dance music, it is typically played with a bouncy, flowing articulation suited for social dancing. Because specific historical associations and early manuscript sources for this tune are uncertain, musicians focus primarily on its bright melodic contour and energetic phrasing.
