Gan Ainm

Jig · 6/8 · A mixolydian

Gan Ainm is an Irish traditional jig whose specific origin and composer are not historically recorded, as the title itself translates from Irish as "without name." Set in 6/8 meter and the A Mixolydian mode, the tune features the lively, rhythmic bounce and flowing phrasing characteristic of traditional double jigs. Such unnamed tunes were frequently passed down orally through generations of fiddlers and flute players in informal session settings.
