Good/Accurate Score of Greek Smyrnaic Song "Ta Paidia Tis Gitonias Sou"?

Yassas Friends,

Do anyone have a good/accurate score of the Greek Smyrnaic song, "Ta Paidia Tis Gitonias Sou"?

This song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wdM9ng6UW8

I have found crappy 2 scores on the web that are very different from each other and seem quite inaccurate to me (see attached).

Efharisto poli in advance,
Udi "Yiannis"

hi

i have a score in bolahenk, but in paper, i will try to scan it

the version that you uploaded seems accurate but reading verses in G key and refrain in F key is not easy

regards

I think the first 3 note are "pickups," not as shown on the score from the Tous Aux Balkans web site (the "lead sheet" score).

Here is a tutorial video with sheet music for the song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UU--w5VXWA

I am also attaching two more scores, neither of which seem particularly good or accurate.

Hi

here is the score in pdf.

It is written in 2+2+2+3 but you can also count 2+3+2+2

I hope this helps

Regards

Hi,

This rhythm is "Argilamás" and is 2-3-2-2 (short-long-short-short).

I don't think the notation you have is wrong.

Here is a quick and dirty (tempered) version for you:

Thanks for the scores, Eric & Mav! They do look better than the ones I've had. I will give them a try.

Efharisto poli,
