Gan Ainm

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Gan Ainm is an Irish jig in 6/8 meter and G major, with an uncertain origin reflected in its title, which is the Irish Gaelic phrase for unnamed. Because no composer or historical association is established, it is performed strictly as a traditional instrumental tune in sessions and gatherings. The piece features a lively, rhythmic character typical of traditional jigs, emphasizing standard phrasing and ornamentation suited to lively social dancing.
