Gan Ainm

Slide · 12/8 · C major

Gan Ainm is an Irish slide of uncertain origin and historical background, shared anonymously through generations of traditional musicians. The tune is written in 12/8 meter and C major, featuring the characteristic bouncy, driving rhythm typical of the slide dance form. Because its specific history is not documented, it is played in various regional styles with an emphasis on fluid ornamentation and rhythmic lift.
