Gan Ainm

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Gan Ainm is an Irish jig in 6/8 meter and G major, with both its exact geographic origin and composer remaining unrecorded by history. Because the title translates from Irish as without name, the tune is preserved in the traditional repertoire through oral transmission rather than a documented historical publication. Its lively rhythmic character makes it well suited for social dancing, typically performed with the brisk, articulated bowing style characteristic of traditional Irish fiddle playing.
