Gan Ainm

Reel · 4/4 · E dorian

Gan Ainm is an Irish reel in the key of E Dorian whose title translates from the Irish Gaelic as nameless. Because the composer and precise geographic origins of the tune are not historically documented, it is preserved in the tradition simply as an anonymous instrumental piece. The melody is typically played with a lively 4/4 rhythm and an energetic character that makes it a popular staple in traditional Irish sessions.
