GUEST,RA Goltrai, Geantrai, Suantrai equivalents? (1) Goltraí, Geantraí, Suantraí equivalents? 14 Jul 23


Thinking about the traditional conception of the three strains of Irish music - Goltraí, Geantraí, Suantraí (the sorrow strain, the joy strain and the sleep strain respectively) - I got to wondering whether there are equivalent conceptions in other cultures.

I also wonder whether there are specific Scottish Gaelic equivalents to those Irish terms.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
