A solo piano arrangement, Intermediate level, of one of the authentic traditional Greek carols sung by carollers in Cyprus during the Christmas season. Allegretto, around q=100 — a lively tempo that suits the carolling tradition it comes from.

I wanted this arrangement to give a taste of our island through the carol, so I took plenty of liberties adding my own twists and colour to it rather than keeping it straight.

A festive, less-commonly-heard addition for a Christmas recital or holiday set — something different from the standard English-language carol repertoire.
