Gan Ainm

Slip jig · 9/8 · A dorian

Gan Ainm is an Irish slip jig in 9/8 meter, with the specific composer and exact historical origins remaining unrecorded by tradition. The title translates from Irish as no name, reflecting its status as an anonymous melody passed down through generations. Played in A dorian, the tune features a lively and energetic character well-suited to the spirited movement of traditional set dancing.
