"...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..."

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')

Sudden thought: Maid?
("Waltz" the Anglo for the Germanic "Walzer"; the "jolly swagman" was a "wanderer" ...)
