Looking for music with a similar mood to the beginning of Guillemots' Little Bear.

What are some songs similar to the beginning of Guillemots' Little Bear?

I have nothing against the rest of the song—I rather like it—but I'm looking for any songs which have a similar sound to 0:00-1:32 in the YouTube video. Anything with a similar mood is good. Extra points for anything which uses stringed instruments only.

Check out Howard Skempton's Lento.

As the Youtube commenter says, it's the kind of piece that you feel like you've known all your life.

There's also an electronica remix by Pantha du Prince.

How about Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op.92 II Allegretto?

Not exactly the same, but maybe Hem?
