Gan Ainm

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Gan Ainm is an Irish jig in 6/8 meter and G major, with both its exact geographic origin and composer unknown since the title translates from Irish as without name. As a traditional tune, it is typically played in a lively, rhythmic style suited for social dancing and Irish traditional music sessions. Because thousands of collected melodies share this title, musicians and scholars rely on its specific melodic contour to distinguish it from other pieces in the tradition.
