It was an arrangement of Andrea Bocelli's Canto Della Terra (Song of the Earth) , actually written by Sartori & Quarantotto. Youtube does not allow pasted links but if you simply type in BBC Euro 2000 intro it should come up. In case you're interested, the original and other versions can also be found on youtube.

I couldn't bring myself to watch the final so instead I watched hours and hours of old footage of the bombing of Dresden to cheer myself up.
