Gan Ainm

Slide · 12/8 · A dorian

Gan Ainm is an Irish slide of uncertain historical origin and no verified composer, taking its title from the Irish term for "without name." Played in 12/8 meter within the A dorian mode, it features the bouncy, flowing rhythm characteristic of traditional Munster slides. Tunes of this designation are common in the Irish repertoire, preserved through oral tradition without surviving historical records or early publication data.
