Sadi Moma

Here is a description of the tune of Sadi Moma, a Bulgarian dance tune, in an ad-hoc form of notation using letters for notes. A dash means the previous note continues. There are seven beats per measure, thus seven characters in each group.

D-CB-A- B-CBAG- G--A--B C--B-BD A--A--- D-CB---
D-CB-A- B-CBAG- G--A--B C--B-BD A--A--- A------

Here is the second voice.

B-AG-D- G-GG-D- G--G--- G--G-G- D--D--- G------
B-AG-D- G-GG-D- G--G--- G--G-G- D--D--- E------

This song is in a rhythm of 7/8; those unaccustomed to odd rhythms often take the unevenness to be a mistake. The meter can be analyzed as slow-quick-quick or 3-2-2.
