Gan Ainm

Jig · 6/8 · C major

Gan Ainm is an Irish jig in six-eight meter and C major, with its specific geographic origin and exact composition date remaining unrecorded. Played in a lively and spirited style typical of traditional dance music, it functions primarily as an instrumental accompaniment for step dancing. Because the title translates from Irish as without name, musicians frequently use the moniker as a placeholder for anonymous or forgotten tunes found within historical manuscript collections.
