The Troika Theme

• 'Troika' was originally written by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev and used in his Lieutenant Kije Suite written in 1933

• The music is a representation of a fast winters journey in a Sleigh.

• The Troika theme was famously used in the Christmas song 'I Believe in Father Christmas' by Greg Lake

• This version is especially arranged for the ukulele to use the open strings to give a more ringing and sustained sound to the music.
