Question
I am trying to find who composed this song. I only have the file of a tv
commercial that used it. I appreciate your help.

Hi Daniel,

I would be very surprised to find out that this is a classical work.  It sounds to me as if it is composed to sort-of sound like one -- and probably was written specifically for this commercial.  It has a number of voice-leading errors that no self-respecting composer (of the time period it is trying to imitate -- 1780-1820) would ever make.  It is pretty, and it works in the commercial to set the mood.  But a classical composition it isn't.

I hope this helps.
