What Is This Vocal 2

[guitpic]

Two steps from Hell got the female vocal sample from somewhere for their Freedom Fighters piece. The You Tube link for this as a soundtrack over NASA footage is given below.
What genre is the vocal? I sometimes hear this style in films and would like to use a sample if pos. I tried to Google for Arabian vocal for example with no result.
Where could I get this vocal samples of this vocal type – female or male in this style?

I may be out of my depth here, guit, but it does sound as though it's simply in the style of classical sacred choral music...............

OK thanks but I think the Adagio piece by S Barber is a different style - still sounds good though. The one I am trying to get hold of seems more an Arabian thing and it must be knocking around as a keyboard sample somewhere. I tried Freesound at http://www.freesound.org/
they usually have something but not this time

I guess you've tried this ............. Arabic scale used here .........

Thanks although not exactly what I was looking for but still pretty good. The Herat wav on tht pasge seems sort of in the same ballpark but it is a synth playing - not a vocal.

A lot of composers use vocal sample CDs such as this one:

Two Steps From Hell probably use something similar, along with using professional singers for custom vocals.
