The Three Noble Strains by Tim Rayborn Tim Rayborn : The Three Noble Strains.
 Medieval and middle eastern music.

In ancient Irish lore, the Three Noble Strains were three styles of playing the harp. They were drawn from the story of Boann, who gave birth to three sons. The eldest, Goltraiges, was born in great pain to her. The second, Gentraiges, was born with joy. The birth of the third, Suantres, caused her great fatigue. These boys grew up to become master harpers and their styles, or strains, were said to be derived from the manner of their birth: the goltrai (the strain of weeping), the geantrai (the strain of happiness), and the suantrai (the strain of sleep). It was these styles which harpers were expected to master and invoke in their audiences.
