Can anyone identify this music for me?

I REALLY want to know what this particular music is called and hopefully be able to buy it on itunes.

I know that a lot of people have the technology on an iphone (or something) where it can identify a song.

Here it is from a figure skating routine:

It's the first piece of music in their routine.

Can anyone help?

I don't know the first two pieces, but the third is one of my favorites: Hora Staccato by Dinicu. It was originally written for violin, but I recommend the full symphonic arrangement (the skating clip uses the trumpet arrangement), it is fantastic. There is also a wonderful recording by famed electronic musician Tomita on his Kosmos and Greatest Hits albums (how I first became familiar with Hora Staccato). If you've never listened to Tomita, you should give him a try. His achievement with synthesizers in the 70s was mind-blowing. Also on the Greatest Hits CD is Debussy's Golliwog Cakewalk, which was used in a cappella form for some of the background music in Glee.

The first piece sounds like ABBA a bit. I kept half-expecting Agnetha and Anni-frid to pop in with a jaunty tune.

I think I found it...

I don't have my itunes open at the moment. I'm sure you can get it on there. Meanwhile, here (after the edit) is an Amazon link where you can listen to a snippet of it. (Also go to YouTube and search for "Sinfonia Per Un Addio.")

Edited to add: Rondo Veneziano is an Italian Chamber Orchestra. Looks like that tune was originally on a 1981 CD titled La Serenissima.
Page at official web site with track listings and snippets. Sinfonia per un Addio is #5.

Not positive, but I think the 1981 album might be out of print. (?) The "Masterpieces" one is the only one where I could find it currently available.
Sorry, that link doesn't take you directly to that page. Flash site - takes you to intro ... click "welcome" ... then "albums" ...it's the second one across at the very top.
