Fear Faire	Lyr Req: Irish myth in folksongs (65* d)	RE: Lyr Req: Irish myth in folksongs	20 Apr 04
As regards the "Fenian" poems mentioned by JTT, music does exist for a small number of the Laoithe Fiannaíochta/Fenian Lays. Again, more examples were collected in Scotland than in Ireland (it is the same material) but the few examples that were recorded are important in offering a glimpse of the type of music which probably accompanied the bardic metres before they were totally usurped by song metres by the 18th century. The work of Professor Breandán Ó Madagáin (now retired) is probably the most current in this area while perusal of periodicals such as Scottish Studies and Scottish Gaelic Studies will turn up many discussions and some staff notation of the Hebridean material.
