Gan Ainm

Polka · 2/4 · D major

Gan Ainm is a traditional Irish polka in 2/4 meter and D major, with its exact origin and composer remaining unknown since the title itself translates from Irish as without a name. The tune is typically played with a lively, bouncy character that suits traditional step dancing and fast-paced instrumental sessions. Because it lacks a specific historical attribution, it circulates widely among musicians as an anonymous staple of the traditional repertoire.
