Description
Tria paidia voliotika - three young men from Volos have taken our sweet Annoula away up into the high mountains. This song refers to the nomadic race of the Sarakatsani - who are Greek in tradition but have spread across much of Eastern Europe - some say they are the oldest identifiable race in the area.
This version with variations gives the main melody to each instrument in turn, while the variations continue.
The pdf file contains score and parts.
A simple version, without variations and with guitar chord names, is also available
The sound sample is an electronic preview
