Gan Ainm

Polka · 2/4 · G major

Gan Ainm is an Irish traditional polka in 2/4 meter and G major, with the title translating from Irish as nameless. Because the composer and precise historical origins are not recorded, it survives purely as an oral transmission within the traditional repertoire. The tune is typically played in a lively and rhythmic style suited for social dancing, featuring bright phrasing characteristic of the Sliabh Luachra region.
