Gan Ainm

Reel · 4/4 · G dorian

Gan Ainm is an Irish reel in 4/4 time and the G Dorian mode, with its specific origins and composer remaining unknown since the title itself translates from Irish as without name. The tune is typically played with a lively, rhythmic drive characteristic of traditional session music, featuring an upbeat and energetic character. Because of its anonymous background, it circulates widely among tradition bearers and musicians without being tied to any specific historical event or early publication.
