Gan Ainm

Slide · 12/8 · A mixolydian

Gan Ainm is an Irish slide of uncertain historical origin, as the title simply translates from the Irish Gaelic for without a name. It is played in A mixolydian with a lively 12/8 meter that is characteristic of the slip jig and slide repertoire. Because no composer is attributed and its history is unrecorded, musicians approach this traditional tune primarily for its bouncy rhythmic drive and melodic fluidity.
