Can anyone help me identify this piece of music?

It is used on the promotional video for the Edinburgh International Festival 2007.

I really want to buy it but can't find anyone who can tell me what it is.

Your help is appreciated.

 

[Handel]

It looks like Monteverdi. It was composed during 16th century or early 17th. Look for Monteverdi, Palestrina, Gabrielli, Schütz works....

l'Orfeo? .

Fantastic! Many thanks.

It is indeed Monteverdi, and is Vieni Imeneo form L'Orfeo.

Thank you, thank you, thank you
