Gan Ainm

Jig · 6/8 · D major

Gan Ainm is an Irish jig in 6/8 meter and the key of D major, with both its exact geographic origin and composer remaining unknown. Like many traditional tunes bearing this Irish Gaelic title, which translates to no name, it features a lively character and an upbeat tempo well-suited for spirited dancing. Because historical documentation for this melody is scarce, musicians typically interpret it with a flexible style that reflects regional Irish performance practices.
