Etain agus Midhir (Etain and Midhir)-2006 in collaboration with Mikael Fernstrom. The classical myth of Orpheus and Eurydice has comparisons with stories from Celtic mythology. In particular the Ophidian myth bears a strong relationship to the ancient Celtic story of the ‘Wooing of Etain’. In the story or the ‘Wooing of Etain’ three distinctive types of enchanted music are mentioned, in the Irish language these are referred to as:

Goltraighte (Music that produces Weeping), Geantraighte (Music that produces Laughter) and Suantraighe (Music that produces Sleep).
