Gan Ainm

Reel · 4/4 · G major

Gan Ainm is an Irish reel in 4/4 time and G major, with the title translating from Irish as nameless. Because the composer and exact geographic origins of the tune are not historically documented, it is preserved in the tradition simply as an anonymous instrumental piece. Musicians typically play it with a lively and steady tempo characteristic of traditional session reels, emphasizing the rhythmic drive essential to Irish dance music.
