Notes

English translation is not available. The original text is in French:

Air instrumental de Chio, sur un rythme de danse à 2/4, commun à tous les syrtos des fies et de la Grèce continentale -es "syrtoi" (pluriel de "syrtos", i.e. traînantes) sont ainsi dénommées parce que les danseurs, mam dans la main, -Tient un demi-cercle et, avançant toujours vers la droite, trafnent légèrement les pieds sur le sol.

Parfois soit au début (en guise d'introduction) soit à la fin (en sorte de "coda") d'une chanson ou d un air de danse, le musicien tenant l'instrument principal de l'ensemble populaire, s'attaque à une mélodie libre tout en improvisant sur l'air qui .livra ou sur celui qui précède. Cet "Azizies" en constitue un exemple. Le violon joue au début en solo la mélodie libre accompagné par un santouri. 

Mélodie: tétracordes chromatiques et diatoniques 
Rythme: 2/4

Recording information

Domna Samiou taped the tune in Nenita, Chios, in 1965.
