Gan Ainm

Jig · 6/8 · D mixolydian

Gan Ainm is an Irish jig in 6/8 meter and the D mixolydian mode, with its specific geographic origin and exact composer remaining unknown since the title translates from Irish Gaelic as no name. The tune is traditionally played with a lively and rhythmic character well-suited for social dancing sessions. Because the history and background of the piece are unrecorded, musicians rely on its characteristic melodic phrasing to interpret the standard jig style.
