What is this music from the Ralph Lauren sponsorship ad on PBS's Masterpiece? (link)

Ralph Lauren just started sponsoring Masterpiece on PBS, and this past weekend they began running their new sponsorship ad with Upstairs Downstairs. What is the background music?

It sounds like Philip Glass, but I can't quite place the piece.

Sounds like a version of one of Yann Tiersen's pieces for the Amelie soundtrack. Possibly "Comptine d'un autre ete" (sorry, can't check right now).

It's not part of the Amélie score, but I also was going to say it sounds like Yann Tiersen. Much of his music sounds like this, although I've never heard this particular song.

Seems it's Emmett Cooke.
