Gan Ainm

Reel · 4/4 · E dorian

Gan Ainm is a traditional Irish reel in four-four time and E dorian mode, with its specific geographic origin and exact historical background remaining unknown. Because the title translates from Irish as without name, musicians frequently use it as a generic label for uncredited melodies found within the traditional repertoire. Played with the energetic, driving rhythm typical of standard reels, this lively tune is well-suited for traditional Irish session playing and social dancing.
