This is a low-res video, but the music is fine; I selected this version because it appears to be the initial performance for Eurovision in 1995.
"Secret Garden features the Irish violinist Fionnuala Sherry and the Norwegian composer/pianist Rolf Løvland. The duo has sold over 3 million albums and won the Eurovision Song Contest for Norway's second time in 1995 with the composition "Nocturne". It was the first and only time to date that a predominantly instrumental piece has won the Eurovision Song Contest..."
Here's one more offering.
Their most famous song "You Raise Me Up", performed by Brian Kennedy, has been recorded by more than a hundred other artists including Josh Groban, Russell Watson, Westlife, Sissel, Becky Taylor, Celtic Woman, Lena Park and Il Divo. This song is very similar in rhythm and harmony to the Irish Folk song "Danny Boy" except for the second half of the phrase.
