Drunken Man's Frolic

Jig · 6/8 · D major

Drunken Man's Frolic is a traditional jig in six-eight time and D major whose specific composer and early historical origins remain unrecorded. Played with the upbeat, lively character typical of traditional dance music, it features the characteristic rhythmic lilt and phrasing of a standard Irish jig. Because reliable historical associations and documentation for this tune are lacking, musicians perform it today purely as a staple of the standard traditional repertoire.
