This is the Peruvian folk song El Cóndor Pasa of which there are infinite versions. It is common to hear elsewhere in the nothern Andes - Colombia, Ecuador, and Bolivia.
This is one of these instances where Horner's take is a little different - but the inspiration is clear.
I think this thread of interest from Horner would have started with Vibes (?), which was set in Ecuador. Was that the first time Horner worked with Tony Hinnigan? Would be interesting to know if Horner visited during filming or at some other point, or if exposure to the quena, panflutes, etc and the Andean folk songs was more through Hinnigan.
I think the quena was used also in Star Trek II and III for Spock, which is a few years earlier.
Anyway, James, thanks for writing about this lovely score.
*The music that opens and closes the score is a traditional South American tune. Wish I could point you in the direction of it but it came up on a Pandora playlist once and I never got the title. I discovered my love of world music through Horner funny enough.

*The Virtual Reality tracks set the groundwork for Sneakers, which was likely Horner's next recorded score.
That's interesting. I've always considered Sneakers as the great gestation score for so many Horner ideas so it's fascinating that this was recorded first.

Its just an educated guess since HoC was recorded in early 1992 and Sneakers was released in September 1992. I believe HoC's liner notes say it was held back from release for a year.
They say two years but one seems more likely (it can't have been held with Horner's score for two years because he recorded that in April 1992 and the film was released in June 1993).
