- The Most Epic Symphonic Rock Version Ever Played of "El Condor Pasa".
"El Condor Pasa" is a famous song that has long captivated people around the world. We take a close look at the music, history, and emotions that this sad melody invokes."
1. The Lyrics
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail / Yes, I would / If I could / I surely would
If this is the first that came to your mind when asked to sing “El Condor Pasa” you are referring to the Simon and Garfunkel version recorded almost fifty years after the premiere of the play originally composed by the composer Daniel Alomías Robles. The original tune doesn’t include lyrics and it is estimated that there are around three hundred different text versions, all of them being apocryphal.
2. History
It premiered on December 19, 1913, at the Mazzi Theater in Lima. The piano arrangement of the best-known melody in this work was legally registered on May 3, 1933, by the Edward B. Marks Music Corp. at the United States Library of Congress, under the number 9643.
This zarzuela includes among its 7 musical parts the famous homonymous melody based on the traditional Andean music of Peru, which was declared Cultural Heritage of the Nation in 2004. It is estimated that there are more than 4000 versions and 300 lyrics, around the world. The parade and the cashua do not have original lyrics. All the existing lyrics of the parade and the cashua, in all languages, are to be considered apocryphal.
3. Origin And Authorship
Simon and Garfunkel version.
From the estimated five thousand different versions recorded during the twentieth century the Simon and Garfunkel’s version is definitely the most popular, achieving major international success and fame, The song became popular in countries such as Spain, Austria, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Paul Simon wrote the English lyrics, gaining the author credits under the song name "El Condor Pasa" (If I Could). The song was actually penned by Peruvian composer Daniel Alomía Robles but the original play doesn’t include lyrics at all.
Simon and Garfunkel's version of the song was introduced to Europe in the 1960s while the original music was first performed in 1913 in Lima Perú.
The original song was written exclusively to be played by a symphonic orchestra without Andean instruments but soon it was widely adopted by popular local folk musicians who were primarily responsible for the extended popularity of the tune.
4. Cultural Impact
El Condor Pasa is considered the non-official Peruvian National Anthem, it is without further arguing, the most recognizable Peruvian melody. As mentioned, it has been recorded approximately 4,000 times with a wide palette of instrumentations.
It is generally associated with the feeling of freedom and peace; the fly of the condor, and due to its simplicity it is very easy to play with almost any instrument.
It was covered by a huge amount of very popular artists such as Mark Anthony, Plácido Domingo, Celia Cruz, Marc Anthony, José Feliciano y Esther Ofarim.
5. Analysis
The action takes place at the dawn of the 20th century, in the Yápac mining settlement in the Andes mountains from Perú.
The work includes seven musical pieces, four of them sung and three instrumental. The best-known melodies correspond to the two instrumentals in the second frame, performed in its first scene: the cachua (dance similar to the huayno) of the wedding dance, and a parade that follows after the prayer to the Virgin.
6.-How to play El Condor Pasa on any instrument.

Love your rock orchestra, from Philippines!
Que hermosa adaptación del Cóndor pasa a nuestro género musical favorito. Cómo siempre buen trabajo. Siempre soñé con escuchar "La mora limpia" de Nicaragua en versión metal. Que el Cóndor pasa, esté me hace pensar que algún día se puede cumplir el sueño
Gracias por la recomendación, "La Mora Limpia", voy a estudiarla.
Micky

That was great. Gonna listen to it again on my good system when I get home tonight. Micky, I was thinking... have you ever considered a Symphonic Rock arrangement of Gershwin's _Rhapsody in Blue_ ? I can hear it in my head, I think it might work!
Gershwin is a challenge, the clarinet intro especially. Thanks for watching.
Micky 😎
@@EpicSymphonicRock Clarinet intro might sound good on electric guitar. Maybe?
I thought the same.
I want to watch you live with my eye.
Love from india

AMO LA MÍA AMÉRICA LATINA
Si está bonita la orquesta pero siento que faltaron más acordes de guitarra eléctrica, tal vez por la costumbre de escucharla siempre con la versión de los Pasteles Verdes, sobre todo en la parte cuando entra la parte principal de la guitarra eléctrica, faltó más rock, jeeeee. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
S&M hell yeahhh😍🤘
Thanks for watching ✌️
FORMIDABLE !!!!!!
Steve Vai style guitar playing ✔️
Thanks.
@@EpicSymphonicRock You're welcome. Peace from Istanbul, Turkiye 🤩😍

Guitar solo is bed...
Empezó mu bien pero la fuga cualquier cojudez, no le hicieron ni pizca al original o a la versión china que si cumplieron enormemente
epic but not really the melody line
ruined this great music
QUE HORRIBLE INTERPRETACION DE LOS 70's CON TRAZOS DE DISCO Y DETALLES DE MICHAEL JACKSON CON PINK FLOYD...ESPERO NO VOLVER A ESCUCHAR "ESO"
