Hi cpbjr,

This music is from the opera "Lakme", which was composed by Leo
Delibes. The piece is called "The Flower Duet".


To listen to the piece, scroll down to Disc 2, Track 1 at the following site:

Incidentally, this piece of music was also used by British Airways in
one of their advertisements.


Search strategy:
My husband, a lover of classical music, recognized the piece.


I hope this is helpful. If you have any questions regarding my answer
please don?t hesitate to ask before rating.

Best regards,
Rainbow

I believe that may be from Bizet's "The Pearl Fishers," but I can't prove it.
