Gan Ainm

Jig · 6/8 · A dorian

Gan Ainm is an Irish jig in 6/8 meter and the A Dorian mode, whose title translates from Irish Gaelic as "no name." Because no historical composer or specific regional origin is recorded, the tune is preserved as a purely traditional instrumental piece in sessions and collections. It features a lively, rhythmic character well-suited for social dancing, typically performed with the driving articulation and ornamentation characteristic of traditional Irish fiddle and flute playing.
