A friend of mine (Maggie, vocalist for 0 A.D.) is writing a report on Celtic influence on score music - games or film. Anyone know of any such music (apart from Braveheart or Last of the Mohicans)? Do the AOE games have any such music?

There's that 30 min piece that plays in AoK, it has "sections" with a little something from a lot of the civs. You might be able to find something there. Put the AoK CD and rip it from WMP. That should work.

Hmm, nothing that hasn't been mentioned yet, although I do have a celtic tape that's pretty neat, but that doesn't exactly qualify.

I assume your talking about modern 'celtic' music right? Which really should be called Gaelic music... (thats another story, for another time...). I'll see what I can find for you.

Argalius is correct; Howard Shore did get a good deal of inspiration from traditional Celtic music when he wrote the score to the Lord of the Rings.
