Composed by Daniel Alomia Robles, Jorge Milchberg, and Paul Simon. Arranged by Allan Frazer (Arranger) Peet du Toit (Orchestration). This edition: pdf. Folk. 20 pages. Peet du Toit #1105440. Published by Peet du Toit (A0.1532220)."El Cóndor Pasa" (Spanish for "The Condor Passes") is an orchestral musical piece from the zarzuela El Cóndor Pasa by the Peruvian composer Daniel Alomía Robles, written in 1913 and based on traditional Andean music, specifically folk music from Peru.
Since then, it has been estimated that, around the world, more than 4,000 versions of the melody have been produced, along with 300 sets of lyrics. In 2004, Peru declared this song to be a part of its national cultural heritage. This song is now considered the second national anthem of Peru.
The song was further popularised by a 1970 cover by Simon & Garfunkel, with English lyrics by Paul Simon, on their Bridge over Troubled Water album. Their version is called "El Cóndor Pasa (If I Could)".
I have orchestrated this gem for a brass quintet and Sam Harrill added the percussion parts. This orchestration for a mixed ensemble makes for both easy playing and listening.
