Gan Ainm

Reel · 4/4 · A mixolydian

Gan Ainm is a traditional Irish reel whose specific composer and precise origins remain unknown, as the title simply translates from Gaelic as no name. Set in 4/4 meter and the A mixolydian mode, the tune features an upbeat, driving character that is well-suited to standard fast-paced session playing. Like many tunes in the traditional repertoire bearing this moniker, it has been widely preserved and shared through oral transmission across generations of fiddlers and flutists.
