Sounds like it could possibly be the combat theme or maybe the intro theme, which features the lovely military snare beat before the majestic main melody. Erm, that's alot of asparagus. Can't say I eat the stuff, personally.
Nice to meet you (so to speak) and may I say your holiday sounds lovely and splendourous. Enjoy! 
British? Very close, I suppose in a derivative penal-colony kind of way.
I guess I don't tend to wear my you beaut-cobber Australian accent on my sleeve and that the British influence of a love of language might influence things. It could also be the influence of an obsession with Ultima and ethical parables it entails. Long live Lord British! 
Anyway, its always a pleasure to meet others who have played some of the golden age rpg classics!
Cheers,
