Gan Ainm

Slip jig · 9/8 · A mixolydian

Gan Ainm is an Irish slip jig whose specific composer and exact geographical origin are not historically documented. Played in the A mixolydian mode with a 9/8 meter, the tune features the characteristic lively, bouncing rhythm and phrasing typical of traditional dance music in this genre. Because its early history is uncertain, musicians today approach it as a standard instrumental piece within the traditional repertoire rather than linking it to a specific historical event.
