[HANASHIR:7270] Who wrote Pitchu (Pitchu) Li?

[Jeff Klepper <jeffklepper...>]

Anyone know who wrote the melody for this hora-style version of Pitchu Li,
(it's also a round) which starts 'Pitchu Pitchu Li'? It was sung a lot at HN
last summer.

In e minor the opening notes are:

b-e-e-e-e---g-f#-d-e

Can anyone recall learning it back in the 70s or 80s or is it more recent?

Thanks,
Jeff
