The music you hear is "The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" by Handel, a piece traditionally played aboard the Paddle Steamer WAVERLEY in tribute whenever she passed the Clyde Turbine Steamer QUEEN MARY (pictured below) in the magnificent Kyles of Bute. Built in 1933, this wonderful ship is still in existence as a restaurant ship on the Thames Embankment in London
