How about this? I'm viewing the first argument as a slot for either a
symbol ('general and the like) or a string (the language name). The last
argument is optional. I used the scheme? predicate to solve the lookahead
problem. Anything will be taken, and it's up to the function to reject
anything that's not a string. (Presumably, it's unlikely that you'd follow
the music function with a string, but who knows...)
