The fragment quoted sounds rather like a song arranged by Benjamin Britten, called "The Ploughboy" methinks, tune (in sol-fa) s/ m s d m l,-s, d/ t, r f m m r s/ m s d m l,- s, d/ t,r f t, d ---etc. It's actually a stage song from the very early 1800s or before, and talks about the grand ambitions of the singer, now lowly footman, but once a simple ploughboy, who whistled o'er the lea. Is that it? Where you'll get it is another question, but maybe I've given you a clue. _ Cheers M.
