Lounge will know! - What's the intro Classical music in this fab YouTube Baroque?

There are no closing credits, list of music pieces. Shazam couldn't handle the narrator talking over the music, came back with totally off-the-wall results. About a half dozen in the Comments wanted to know, too, but nobody replied. Lounge knows everything!

Talking about the 8 notes staccato brass. Fascinating video by the bye.

1. I'm guessing it's from one of Giuseppe Torelli's trumpet concertos.

The style is about right and he wrote a lot of music for trumpet.

Clicking on timelines up and up. Found a familiar HANDEL. Won't rest till I find it.

4. Torelli wrote a lot of trumpet music, so I don't know how to track it down.

How to track it down? Am sampling the YouTubes. I've heard this piece before, is celebrated. It would have to be featured top notch in YouTubes.

10. Maybe he was channeling Torelli.

Seems odd that they'd hire a composer to write new music in a Baroque style since there's already so much of the real thing, and their copyrights expired a few hundred years ago.
