Gan Ainm

Polka · 2/4 · B minor

Gan Ainm is an Irish polka in 2/4 time and B minor, with the title translating from the Irish Gaelic as nameless. Because its exact origin and historical background are not established, the tune is best known through traditional ensemble and session playing rather than a specific historical association. Its lively tempo and character are typical of the Sliabh Luachra regional style of traditional music, featuring an upbeat rhythm well suited for dancing.
