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

          Well, there were the Pirates of Penzance. This then led me to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PleXFh_oOEU (Shakers - Pirates Of The Caribbean), and thence to Emerson, Lake & Palmer who had a track called Pirates on their imaginatively-titled album Works Volume 1, which would have spun at 331/3

          I feel absolutely sure that the above is not the correct answer...
          Pacta sunt servanda !!!

            But it could be! Just coming to this puzzle I find the Anthem of Cornwall Hail to the Homeland was composed by Kenneth Pelmear. The things you learn on AA !!
            I used to go to St. Just, ages ago, for hols and the pasties from the local bakers still linger in my memory, put one of those in your rucksack and you could exist on it all day as you tramped along the coastal paths.
            Edit: I also chanced upon Keith Emerson. Least said, soonest mended! But, time for a clue cloughie, are we seeking classical?

              Pirates you got - now think for other Pirates and Weill you do that think about the kind of gloves you might think to use in a song from the Pirates.

                Was singing it in practice last Sunday!
                Clues think classical crossover and 60s rock 'n' roll.

                      Do you know, we had Jenny ages ago on AA? Jenny was the name of Karl Marx's wife.
                      Strange, but true.

                              Johnny Kidd and the Pirates had a hit with 'Shakin' all over.

                              I decided to finish an animation project I started a long time ago: recreating Pirate Jenny from the Judy Collins cover of the song from "The Threepenny Oper...


                              Changed the title because YT only shows part of it. This IS a remake of their own song, and therefore not the original. This track is called Shakin' All Over...
