Gan Ainm

Slip jig · 9/8 · G major

Gan Ainm is a traditional Irish slip jig in nine-eighth time and G major, with its exact origin and composer remaining unknown. The tune is characterized by its lively, bounding triple-meter rhythm and flowing melodic lines well-suited to spirited solo and session playing. Because traditional Irish instrumental music often circulated orally for generations without written records, specific historical associations or early manuscript dates for this piece are not documented.
