Tune of the Day: The Humors of Limerick

Traditional Irish jig

The earliest printing of a tune by the title “The Humors of Limerick” is found in a 1778 collection by Glasgow musician Joshua Campbell. Chicago collector Francis O'Neill writes, in his Irish Minstrels and Musicians (1913), that a special dance was performed to this melody.
