TRIPPING THRO' THE MEADOWS. AKA and see "Sweetheart Reel (The)." Irish, Reel (2/4 time). A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Francis O'Neill printed a version of this tune in his Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody (1922), under the title "Sweetheart Reel (The)." Both are members of a larger tune family that contain the cognate reels "Kerryman's Daughter (2) (The)" (Mulvihill),
There was a very popular polka rondo latter 19th century called "Tripping through the Meadows" composed by G.D. Wilson (Grenville Dean), 1833-1897, but it is unrelated to Roche's reel.
