Answer
Hi --

It seems that I get more questions about these Ralph Lauren website bits than anything else!  

This one, as with most, seems to me (99% sure) to have been freshly composed for this website.  It sounds (both compositionally and technologically) like the kind of things a commercial composer with a nice computer setup can churn out in an afternoon.  I'm not saying it isn't good -- it is nice.  But this is not part of the classical repertoire.

There have been one or two of the RL things that were arrangements of music from the classical repertoire (you can search my previous RL answers to see which ones -- I frankly can't remember when or which, but I do remember there was at least one).  But most seem to me to be simply music written for hire for this specific purpose.
