Gan Ainm

Polka · 2/4 · G major

Gan Ainm is an Irish polka in 2/4 meter and G major, with the title translating from the Gaelic as nameless. Because its exact composer and historical origins are not recorded, it is preserved in the traditional repertoire through communal transmission. This lively tune features a brisk, rhythmic bounce characteristic of Irish dance music, making it well-suited for spirited accompaniment on the accordion or fiddle.
