Gan Ainm

Polka · 2/4 · A major

Gan Ainm is an Irish polka in 2/4 time and A major, with its specific composer and historical origins remaining unrecorded. Because the title translates from Irish as without name, musicians frequently use it as a generic label for uncredited instrumental pieces found in tradition. Played in a lively and rhythmic style suited for dancing, the tune relies on bright phrasing and energetic bounce typical of the Sliabh Luachra regional repertoire.
