El Cóndor Pasa is a piece from a zarzuela (a form of Spanish light operetta) by Daniel Alomía Robles. The Peruvian wrote the work in 1913. The work has since been recorded thousands of times, most notably by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel who provided it with new lyrics and a subtitle (If I Could).

This arrangement is designed for teachers and music groups where there is a mixed level of experience amongst the players. The arrangement is adaptable and flexible as certain parts can be omitted as the ensemble sees fit.
