Not a million miles away from your L, this M.... rapidly uniting a wanderer, apparently, with three versions of an Anglo-German sounding dance...."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

A little late-night clue. The link between this M and Flay's L for Lasses can be summed up as: all Ms are Lasses, but not all Lasses are Ms."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

An Anglo-German Dance in 3/4 perchance?

No ferney, the 'lass' means straightforwardly the female of the species...
A clue... well the wanderer is perhaps... roaming
And the word 'rapidly' is a direct clue to one of the elements. Find a synonym.

I was going to suggest the Oberkirchen Children's Choir ('I Love to Go a Wandering / Along the Mountain Track'), but sadly that doesn't have an 'M' in it (except the one in 'Mountain')
Synonyms: you want synonyms? In English:
Quickly, promptly, speedily, promptly.
Other languages are available:
Schnell, vite, presto...
(What makes you think I'm struggling?
)
Sudden thought: Maid?Comment

Not Mathilda, no... You're not after a name...
The dance is older than the waltz. It 'sounds' German because that's what its name means..."...the isle is full of noises,
