          Stanley K. (ça va sans dire, I thought ...)

          There is some evidence on google of words to the tune including the word 'motherland', to do with South Africa.... is that the right direction?

          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            South Africa may well have picked this up as might others countries all over the aether

            Stanley Kubrick is spot on

              Oh....

              It was the signature jingle of the BBC World Service wasn't it?

                  I thank you (Maybe it still is the WS signature tune?)

                  However: try this for size. This M sounds identical in all three cases, although in fact each spelling is slightly different in each case: I hope the fact that the M is only phonetically identical will not offend any delicate sensibilities?

                          Korngold wrote the music for the film 'Escape Me Never'?

                          Is the Arnold clue musical or literary?
