Gan Ainm

Reel · 4/4 · D major

Gan Ainm is an Irish reel in D major with an uncertain historical origin, as the title simply translates from Irish as "without name." Because its exact background and composer are unknown, the tune survives primarily through oral tradition and anonymous manuscript collections. Musically, it features a lively 4/4 meter and a spirited character that demands a nimble, rhythmic playing style typical of traditional session music.
