"The Rolling Waves", also known as "The Rolling Waves", "Beattie's Frolics",
"The Humors of Trim" is an Irish, jig in 6/8 time and D Major. The parts are played AABB.
The "Rolling Wave" title for the jig appears to have been Willie Clancy’s, although this
is now the most popular name for it. O’Neill gives it as "The Humors of Trim".

Krassen's O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1976),
O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903) (as "The Humors of Trim"),
O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907) (as "The Humors of Trim"),
Vallely's Learn to Play the Tin Whistle with the Armagh Pipers Club, vol. 3 (1973).
