Gan Ainm

Slip jig · 9/8 · A dorian

Gan Ainm is an Irish slip jig in 9/8 meter played in the A dorian mode, with its specific geographic origin and historical background remaining unknown. Because the title translates from Irish as "no name," musicians frequently use this designation for traditional tunes that have entered the repertoire without a recorded title or verified composer. The piece features the characteristic bounding, triple-tripping rhythm of a slip jig, making it a lively and energetic vehicle for traditional instrumental performance.
