Gan Ainm

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Gan Ainm is an Irish hornpipe in 4/4 time and D major, with its specific geographical origin and exact composer remaining unknown since the title translates from Irish Gaelic as "without name." The tune features the steady, dotted rhythm and bouncy, articulate phrasing characteristic of traditional dance music in this genre. Because thousands of collected melodies share this anonymous designation in traditional sessions, it has no specific historical associations tied to a single definite author or event.
