Gan Ainm

Reel · 4/4 · G dorian

Gan Ainm is an Irish reel in 4/4 time and G dorian mode, whose specific composer and exact regional origins are not historically recorded. Because the title translates from Irish Gaelic as nameless, the tune is preserved as a traditional piece passed down through generations of musicians. It is typically played with a lively, rhythmic drive characteristic of traditional sessions, emphasizing the modal shifts native to the key.
