Gan Ainm

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Gan Ainm is a traditional Irish jig in six-eight meter and G major, with an exact geographic origin and composer that remain unknown. Like many traditional tunes bearing this Gaelic title, which translates to no name, its lively character and melodic phrasing reflect the standard repertoire of itinerant fiddlers and flute players. Because specific historical associations have not been recorded for this piece, musicians perform it with stylistic freedom according to regional session traditions.
