Greedy Richard'
by Jane Taylor
1783-1824
read by Murray Lachlan Young
"I think I want some pies this morning,"
Said Dick, stretching himself and yawning;
So down he threw his slate and books,
And saunter'd to the pastry-cook's.
And there he cast his greedy eyes
Round on the jellies and the pies,
So to select, with anxious care,
The very nicest that was there.
At least the point was thus decided:
As his opinion was divided
'Twixt pie and jelly, being loth
Either to leave, so took them both.
Now Richard never could be pleased
To stop when hunger was appeased,
But he would go on and eat the stuff
Long after he had had enough.
"I shant take anymore," said Dick;
"Dear me, I feel extremely sick:
I cannot even eat this bit;
I wish I had not tasted it. "
Then slowing rising from his seat,
He threw his cheesecake in the street,
And left the tempting pastry-cook's
With very discontented looks.
Just then a man with wooden leg
Met Dick, and held his hat to beg;
And while he told his mournful case,
He look'd at him with imploring face.
Dick, wishing to relieve his pain,
His pockets search'd, but search'd in vain;
And so at last he did declare,
He had not left a farthing there.
The beggar turn'd with face of grief,
And look of patent unbelief,
While Richard now his folly blamed,
And felt both sorry and ashamed.
"I wish," said he (but wishing's vain),
"I had my money back again,
And had not spent my last, to pay
For what I only threw away.
"Another time, I'll take advice,
And not buy things because they're nice;
But rather save my little store,
To give poor folks who want it more."

The Poppy
High on a bright and sunny bed
A scarlet poppy grew
And up it held its staring head,
And thrust it full in view.
Yet no attention did it win,
By all these efforts made,
And less unwelcome had it been
In some retired shade.
Although within its scarlet breast
No sweet perfume was found,
It seemed to think itself the best
Of all the flowers round,
From this I may a hint obtain
And take great care indeed,
Lest I appear as pert and vain
As does this gaudy weed.

Jane Taylor (September 23, 1783?April 13, 1824), was an English poet and novelist. She wrote the words for the song Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star in 1806 at age 23, while living in Shilling Street, Lavenham, Suffolk.
The poem is now known world-wide, but its authorship is generally forgotten. It was first published under the title "The Star" in Rhymes for the Nursery, a collection of poems by Taylor and her older sister Ann (later Mrs. Gilbert). The sisters, and their authorship of various works, have often been confused, in part because their early works were published together.
Ann Taylor's son, Josiah Gilbert, wrote in her biography, 'two little poems--"My Mother," and "Twinkle, twinkle, little Star," are perhaps, more frequently quoted than any; the first, a lyric of life, was by Ann, the second, of nature, by Jane; and they illustrate this difference between the sisters.' See The Autobiography and Other Memorials of Mrs Gilbert, Formerly Ann Taylor, by Ann Taylor (1782-1866), edited by Josiah Gilbert. Henry S. King & Co. 65 Cornhill, London, 1874.

From South Africa, via London, comes Warhorse, the extraordinarily successful theater and puppetry collaboration between Cape Town’s Handspring Puppet Company and the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain. Warhorse is based on the celebrated novel by British writer Michael Morpurgo. Set in World War I, the novel speaks of the immense slaughter of soldiers on all sides told from the perspective of an English farm horse. It will be presented at Lincoln Center through June 26, 2011.
Winners of Olivier, Evening Standard and Critics’ Circle Awards for this piece, the founders of the company, Basil Jones and Adrian Kohler, converse with South African-born poet, author and scholar Yvette Christiansë, and puppeteer Dan Hurlin on puppetry. They focus on puppetry as a contemporary medium of communication and advocacy, and look at The Object as Verb, Movement as Thought as well as The Authorial Audience.
Come hear writer, curator and scholar Jane Taylor speak on Tuesday April 12, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Cabinet. Taylor has worked with Handspring in developing two major works: the script for Ubu and the Truth Commission and the libretto for The Confessions of Zeno.
The extraordinary success of Warhorse has drawn attention to Handspring’s decades-long experiments and innovations in the art of puppetry and their remarkable contribution to theater in South Africa. Handspring Puppet Company was founded by Basil Jones, Adrian Kohler, Jill Joubert and Jon Weinberg in 1981. They have produced eleven plays and two operas, often directly addressing pressing political concerns such as the proceedings of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. They have collaborated with many artists including Mali’s Sogolon Puppet Troupe and South African artist William Kentridge, and have appeared in over 200 venues in South Africa and abroad.
The New School event is co-sponsored by the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center at Parsons The New School for Design.
Participants:
At The New School:
Yvette Christiansë, Visiting Professor of Africana Studies, Barnard College, and Associate Professor of English, Fordham University
Dan Hurlin, puppeteer and Director of the Graduate Program in Theater, Sarah Lawrence College
Basil Jones and Adrian Kohler, Handspring Puppet Company
At Cabinet:

The Old Burying Ground
Evan Chambers brings to life the epitaphs etched in stone so many
years ago in Jaffery, New Hampshire in his first release on Dorian
Sono Luminus with his new work The Old Burying Ground, performed
by the University of Michigan Symphony Orchestra under the
direction of Kenneth Kiesler, this world premiere release intertwines
powerful orchestral movements, moving vocal passages and poems
commissioned by world renowned award winning poets in a way that
connects the listener with each of those that have passed on and
inspired the piece.
Evan Chambers (b. 1963) compositions bear the stamp of his early exposure to the edginess and immediacy of folk song and
community music-making, readily crossing boundaries and reconciling disparate musical worlds. He is currently the Associate
Professor and Chair of Composition at the University of Michigan School of Music, and serves as resident composer with the
new-music ensemble Quorum. Works by this award winning composer have been performed by the Cincinnati, Kansas City,
Spokane, Memphis, Binghamton, New Hampshire, and Albany Symphonies, as well as the American Composers Orchestra,
with which he appeared as soloist in Carnegie Hall.
Kenneth Kiesler has been Director of Orchestras and professor of conducting at the University of Michigan since 1995. Kiesler
is Conductor Laureate of the Illinois Symphony Orchestra where, as Music Director from 1980 to 2000, he founded the Illinois
Symphony Chorus and Illinois Chamber Orchestra, led debuts at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, and won several awards.
Having conducted numerous symphonies around the world, Mr. Kiesler is also one of the worlds most sought-after mentors
to conductors.
The album features a powerful cast of vocal soloists. The solos are led by world famous folk singer Tim Eriksen, who beyond
releasing numerous recordings exploring a wide range of musical styles, was the music consultant for the film Cold Mountain
working with the musicians and tutoring the actors in Sacred Harp singing, appearing in the film and ultimately performing his
shape-note arrangement of an Oscar-nominated Elvis Costello song on the Academy Awards. Eriksen is the only musician
to have shared the stage with both Kurt Cobain and Doc Watson. Anne-Carolyn Bird (Soprano) is a brilliant and award
winning voice who can be heard as the Voice of the Fountain on the Grammy Award-winning recording of Osvaldo Golijovs
Ainadamar. Nicholas Phan (Tenor) who has performed with the numerous opera companies including Glimmerglass, New
York City, LA, and Chicago, has proven to be a stellar up and coming artist. The album also features poetry commissioned for
the work by internationally acclaimed poets including Keith Taylor, Thomas Lynch, Richard Tillinghast, Paula Meehan, Jane
Hirshfield, read by the poets throughout the work.
This powerful piece of music, produced by award winning producer David Frost, is a guaranteed top selection in the play
lists of the traditional classical music listener, and bridges the gap to reach music lovers of all genres. The folk undertones
paired with the poetry and intricate orchestral composition truly give new life to those interred at The Old Burying Ground.

Greedy Richard'
by Jane Taylor
1783-1824
read by Murray Lachlan Young
"I think I want some pies this morning,"
Said Dick, stretching himself and yawning;
So down he threw his slate and books,
And saunter'd to the pastry-cook's.
And there he cast his greedy eyes
Round on the jellies and the pies,
So to select, with anxious care,
The very nicest that was there.
At least the point was thus decided:
As his opinion was divided
'Twixt pie and jelly, being loth
Either to leave, so took them both.
Now Richard never could be pleased
To stop when hunger was appeased,
But he would go on and eat the stuff
Long after he had had enough.
"I shant take anymore," said Dick;
"Dear me, I feel extremely sick:
I cannot even eat this bit;
I wish I had not tasted it. "
Then slowing rising from his seat,
He threw his cheesecake in the street,
And left the tempting pastry-cook's
With very discontented looks.
Just then a man with wooden leg
Met Dick, and held his hat to beg;
And while he told his mournful case,
He look'd at him with imploring face.
Dick, wishing to relieve his pain,
His pockets search'd, but search'd in vain;
And so at last he did declare,
He had not left a farthing there.
The beggar turn'd with face of grief,
And look of patent unbelief,
While Richard now his folly blamed,
And felt both sorry and ashamed.
"I wish," said he (but wishing's vain),
"I had my money back again,
And had not spent my last, to pay
For what I only threw away.
"Another time, I'll take advice,
And not buy things because they're nice;
But rather save my little store,
To give poor folks who want it more."

The Poppy
High on a bright and sunny bed
A scarlet poppy grew
And up it held its staring head,
And thrust it full in view.
Yet no attention did it win,
By all these efforts made,
And less unwelcome had it been
In some retired shade.
Although within its scarlet breast
No sweet perfume was found,
It seemed to think itself the best
Of all the flowers round,
From this I may a hint obtain
And take great care indeed,
Lest I appear as pert and vain
As does this gaudy weed.

Jane Taylor (September 23, 1783?April 13, 1824), was an English poet and novelist. She wrote the words for the song Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star in 1806 at age 23, while living in Shilling Street, Lavenham, Suffolk.
The poem is now known world-wide, but its authorship is generally forgotten. It was first published under the title "The Star" in Rhymes for the Nursery, a collection of poems by Taylor and her older sister Ann (later Mrs. Gilbert). The sisters, and their authorship of various works, have often been confused, in part because their early works were published together.
Ann Taylor's son, Josiah Gilbert, wrote in her biography, 'two little poems--"My Mother," and "Twinkle, twinkle, little Star," are perhaps, more frequently quoted than any; the first, a lyric of life, was by Ann, the second, of nature, by Jane; and they illustrate this difference between the sisters.' See The Autobiography and Other Memorials of Mrs Gilbert, Formerly Ann Taylor, by Ann Taylor (1782-1866), edited by Josiah Gilbert. Henry S. King & Co. 65 Cornhill, London, 1874.

From South Africa, via London, comes Warhorse, the extraordinarily successful theater and puppetry collaboration between Cape Town’s Handspring Puppet Company and the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain. Warhorse is based on the celebrated novel by British writer Michael Morpurgo. Set in World War I, the novel speaks of the immense slaughter of soldiers on all sides told from the perspective of an English farm horse. It will be presented at Lincoln Center through June 26, 2011.
Winners of Olivier, Evening Standard and Critics’ Circle Awards for this piece, the founders of the company, Basil Jones and Adrian Kohler, converse with South African-born poet, author and scholar Yvette Christiansë, and puppeteer Dan Hurlin on puppetry. They focus on puppetry as a contemporary medium of communication and advocacy, and look at The Object as Verb, Movement as Thought as well as The Authorial Audience.
Come hear writer, curator and scholar Jane Taylor speak on Tuesday April 12, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Cabinet. Taylor has worked with Handspring in developing two major works: the script for Ubu and the Truth Commission and the libretto for The Confessions of Zeno.
The extraordinary success of Warhorse has drawn attention to Handspring’s decades-long experiments and innovations in the art of puppetry and their remarkable contribution to theater in South Africa. Handspring Puppet Company was founded by Basil Jones, Adrian Kohler, Jill Joubert and Jon Weinberg in 1981. They have produced eleven plays and two operas, often directly addressing pressing political concerns such as the proceedings of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. They have collaborated with many artists including Mali’s Sogolon Puppet Troupe and South African artist William Kentridge, and have appeared in over 200 venues in South Africa and abroad.
The New School event is co-sponsored by the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center at Parsons The New School for Design.
Participants:
At The New School:
Yvette Christiansë, Visiting Professor of Africana Studies, Barnard College, and Associate Professor of English, Fordham University
Dan Hurlin, puppeteer and Director of the Graduate Program in Theater, Sarah Lawrence College

The Old Burying Ground
Evan Chambers brings to life the epitaphs etched in stone so many
years ago in Jaffery, New Hampshire in his first release on Dorian
Sono Luminus with his new work The Old Burying Ground, performed
by the University of Michigan Symphony Orchestra under the
direction of Kenneth Kiesler, this world premiere release intertwines
powerful orchestral movements, moving vocal passages and poems
commissioned by world renowned award winning poets in a way that
connects the listener with each of those that have passed on and
inspired the piece.
Evan Chambers (b. 1963) compositions bear the stamp of his early exposure to the edginess and immediacy of folk song and
community music-making, readily crossing boundaries and reconciling disparate musical worlds. He is currently the Associate
Professor and Chair of Composition at the University of Michigan School of Music, and serves as resident composer with the
new-music ensemble Quorum. Works by this award winning composer have been performed by the Cincinnati, Kansas City,
Spokane, Memphis, Binghamton, New Hampshire, and Albany Symphonies, as well as the American Composers Orchestra,
with which he appeared as soloist in Carnegie Hall.
Kenneth Kiesler has been Director of Orchestras and professor of conducting at the University of Michigan since 1995. Kiesler
is Conductor Laureate of the Illinois Symphony Orchestra where, as Music Director from 1980 to 2000, he founded the Illinois
Symphony Chorus and Illinois Chamber Orchestra, led debuts at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, and won several awards.
Having conducted numerous symphonies around the world, Mr. Kiesler is also one of the worlds most sought-after mentors
to conductors.
The album features a powerful cast of vocal soloists. The solos are led by world famous folk singer Tim Eriksen, who beyond
releasing numerous recordings exploring a wide range of musical styles, was the music consultant for the film Cold Mountain
working with the musicians and tutoring the actors in Sacred Harp singing, appearing in the film and ultimately performing his
shape-note arrangement of an Oscar-nominated Elvis Costello song on the Academy Awards. Eriksen is the only musician
to have shared the stage with both Kurt Cobain and Doc Watson. Anne-Carolyn Bird (Soprano) is a brilliant and award
winning voice who can be heard as the Voice of the Fountain on the Grammy Award-winning recording of Osvaldo Golijovs
Ainadamar. Nicholas Phan (Tenor) who has performed with the numerous opera companies including Glimmerglass, New
York City, LA, and Chicago, has proven to be a stellar up and coming artist. The album also features poetry commissioned for
the work by internationally acclaimed poets including Keith Taylor, Thomas Lynch, Richard Tillinghast, Paula Meehan, Jane
Hirshfield, read by the poets throughout the work.
This powerful piece of music, produced by award winning producer David Frost, is a guaranteed top selection in the play
lists of the traditional classical music listener, and bridges the gap to reach music lovers of all genres. The folk undertones
paired with the poetry and intricate orchestral composition truly give new life to those interred at The Old Burying Ground.

Greedy Richard'
by Jane Taylor
1783-1824
read by Murray Lachlan Young
"I think I want some pies this morning,"
Said Dick, stretching himself and yawning;
So down he threw his slate and books,
And saunter'd to the pastry-cook's.
And there he cast his greedy eyes
Round on the jellies and the pies,
So to select, with anxious care,
The very nicest that was there.
At least the point was thus decided:
As his opinion was divided
'Twixt pie and jelly, being loth
Either to leave, so took them both.
Now Richard never could be pleased
To stop when hunger was appeased,
But he would go on and eat the stuff
Long after he had had enough.
"I shant take anymore," said Dick;
"Dear me, I feel extremely sick:
I cannot even eat this bit;
I wish I had not tasted it. "
Then slowing rising from his seat,
He threw his cheesecake in the street,
And left the tempting pastry-cook's
With very discontented looks.
Just then a man with wooden leg
Met Dick, and held his hat to beg;
And while he told his mournful case,
He look'd at him with imploring face.
Dick, wishing to relieve his pain,
His pockets search'd, but search'd in vain;
And so at last he did declare,
He had not left a farthing there.
The beggar turn'd with face of grief,
And look of patent unbelief,
While Richard now his folly blamed,
And felt both sorry and ashamed.
"I wish," said he (but wishing's vain),
"I had my money back again,
And had not spent my last, to pay
For what I only threw away.
"Another time, I'll take advice,
And not buy things because they're nice;
But rather save my little store,

Greedy Richard'
by Jane Taylor
1783-1824
read by Murray Lachlan Young
"I think I want some pies this morning,"
Said Dick, stretching himself and yawning;
So down he threw his slate and books,
And saunter'd to the pastry-cook's.
And there he cast his greedy eyes
Round on the jellies and the pies,
So to select, with anxious care,
The very nicest that was there.
At least the point was thus decided:
As his opinion was divided
'Twixt pie and jelly, being loth
Either to leave, so took them both.
Now Richard never could be pleased
To stop when hunger was appeased,
But he would go on and eat the stuff
Long after he had had enough.
"I shant take anymore," said Dick;
"Dear me, I feel extremely sick:
I cannot even eat this bit;
I wish I had not tasted it. "
Then slowing rising from his seat,
He threw his cheesecake in the street,
And left the tempting pastry-cook's
With very discontented looks.
Just then a man with wooden leg
Met Dick, and held his hat to beg;
And while he told his mournful case,
He look'd at him with imploring face.
Dick, wishing to relieve his pain,
His pockets search'd, but search'd in vain;
And so at last he did declare,
He had not left a farthing there.
The beggar turn'd with face of grief,
And look of patent unbelief,
While Richard now his folly blamed,
And felt both sorry and ashamed.
"I wish," said he (but wishing's vain),
"I had my money back again,
And had not spent my last, to pay
For what I only threw away.
"Another time, I'll take advice,
And not buy things because they're nice;
But rather save my little store,
To give poor folks who want it more."

The Poppy
High on a bright and sunny bed
A scarlet poppy grew
And up it held its staring head,
And thrust it full in view.
Yet no attention did it win,
By all these efforts made,
And less unwelcome had it been
In some retired shade.
Although within its scarlet breast
No sweet perfume was found,
It seemed to think itself the best
Of all the flowers round,
From this I may a hint obtain
And take great care indeed,
Lest I appear as pert and vain
As does this gaudy weed.

Jane Taylor (September 23, 1783?April 13, 1824), was an English poet and novelist. She wrote the words for the song Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star in 1806 at age 23, while living in Shilling Street, Lavenham, Suffolk.
The poem is now known world-wide, but its authorship is generally forgotten. It was first published under the title "The Star" in Rhymes for the Nursery, a collection of poems by Taylor and her older sister Ann (later Mrs. Gilbert). The sisters, and their authorship of various works, have often been confused, in part because their early works were published together.
Ann Taylor's son, Josiah Gilbert, wrote in her biography, 'two little poems--"My Mother," and "Twinkle, twinkle, little Star," are perhaps, more frequently quoted than any; the first, a lyric of life, was by Ann, the second, of nature, by Jane; and they illustrate this difference between the sisters.' See The Autobiography and Other Memorials of Mrs Gilbert, Formerly Ann Taylor, by Ann Taylor (1782-1866), edited by Josiah Gilbert. Henry S. King & Co. 65 Cornhill, London, 1874.

From South Africa, via London, comes Warhorse, the extraordinarily successful theater and puppetry collaboration between Cape Town’s Handspring Puppet Company and the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain. Warhorse is based on the celebrated novel by British writer Michael Morpurgo. Set in World War I, the novel speaks of the immense slaughter of soldiers on all sides told from the perspective of an English farm horse. It will be presented at Lincoln Center through June 26, 2011.
Winners of Olivier, Evening Standard and Critics’ Circle Awards for this piece, the founders of the company, Basil Jones and Adrian Kohler, converse with South African-born poet, author and scholar Yvette Christiansë, and puppeteer Dan Hurlin on puppetry. They focus on puppetry as a contemporary medium of communication and advocacy, and look at The Object as Verb, Movement as Thought as well as The Authorial Audience.
Come hear writer, curator and scholar Jane Taylor speak on Tuesday April 12, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Cabinet. Taylor has worked with Handspring in developing two major works: the script for Ubu and the Truth Commission and the libretto for The Confessions of Zeno.
The extraordinary success of Warhorse has drawn attention to Handspring’s decades-long experiments and innovations in the art of puppetry and their remarkable contribution to theater in South Africa. Handspring Puppet Company was founded by Basil Jones, Adrian Kohler, Jill Joubert and Jon Weinberg in 1981. They have produced eleven plays and two operas, often directly addressing pressing political concerns such as the proceedings of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. They have collaborated with many artists including Mali’s Sogolon Puppet Troupe and South African artist William Kentridge, and have appeared in over 200 venues in South Africa and abroad.
The New School event is co-sponsored by the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center at Parsons The New School for Design.
Participants:
At The New School:
Yvette Christiansë, Visiting Professor of Africana Studies, Barnard College, and Associate Professor of English, Fordham University

The Old Burying Ground
Evan Chambers brings to life the epitaphs etched in stone so many
years ago in Jaffery, New Hampshire in his first release on Dorian
Sono Luminus with his new work The Old Burying Ground, performed
by the University of Michigan Symphony Orchestra under the
direction of Kenneth Kiesler, this world premiere release intertwines
powerful orchestral movements, moving vocal passages and poems
commissioned by world renowned award winning poets in a way that
connects the listener with each of those that have passed on and
inspired the piece.
Evan Chambers (b. 1963) compositions bear the stamp of his early exposure to the edginess and immediacy of folk song and
community music-making, readily crossing boundaries and reconciling disparate musical worlds. He is currently the Associate
Professor and Chair of Composition at the University of Michigan School of Music, and serves as resident composer with the
new-music ensemble Quorum. Works by this award winning composer have been performed by the Cincinnati, Kansas City,
Spokane, Memphis, Binghamton, New Hampshire, and Albany Symphonies, as well as the American Composers Orchestra,
with which he appeared as soloist in Carnegie Hall.
Kenneth Kiesler has been Director of Orchestras and professor of conducting at the University of Michigan since 1995. Kiesler
is Conductor Laureate of the Illinois Symphony Orchestra where, as Music Director from 1980 to 2000, he founded the Illinois
Symphony Chorus and Illinois Chamber Orchestra, led debuts at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, and won several awards.
Having conducted numerous symphonies around the world, Mr. Kiesler is also one of the worlds most sought-after mentors
to conductors.
The album features a powerful cast of vocal soloists. The solos are led by world famous folk singer Tim Eriksen, who beyond
releasing numerous recordings exploring a wide range of musical styles, was the music consultant for the film Cold Mountain
working with the musicians and tutoring the actors in Sacred Harp singing, appearing in the film and ultimately performing his
shape-note arrangement of an Oscar-nominated Elvis Costello song on the Academy Awards. Eriksen is the only musician
to have shared the stage with both Kurt Cobain and Doc Watson. Anne-Carolyn Bird (Soprano) is a brilliant and award
winning voice who can be heard as the Voice of the Fountain on the Grammy Award-winning recording of Osvaldo Golijovs
Ainadamar. Nicholas Phan (Tenor) who has performed with the numerous opera companies including Glimmerglass, New
York City, LA, and Chicago, has proven to be a stellar up and coming artist. The album also features poetry commissioned for
the work by internationally acclaimed poets including Keith Taylor, Thomas Lynch, Richard Tillinghast, Paula Meehan, Jane
Hirshfield, read by the poets throughout the work.
This powerful piece of music, produced by award winning producer David Frost, is a guaranteed top selection in the play
lists of the traditional classical music listener, and bridges the gap to reach music lovers of all genres. The folk undertones
paired with the poetry and intricate orchestral composition truly give new life to those interred at The Old Burying Ground.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - Kids songs 2015 - Baby songs - Nursery Rhymes Songs for Children
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" shares its tune with two other nursery rhymes, namely "The Alphabet Song," and a variation of it in "Baa, baa, black sheep," as well as a variety of Christmas kid songs from various places in Europe including Germany, Hungary, Spain and The Netherlands. But "Twinkle, Twinkle" has also seeped into popular music culture throughout the years. It makes an appearance in the music of Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World," where a large portion of the melody is quoted in his vocal line, transformed by the use of swing rhythms rather than the conventional straight-eights. In another adaptation, "Little Star" by The Elegants reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958. In more recent music culture, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince sampled this song in their Hip...

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - Best Baby Songs | ABC Songs For Children
"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star About" The history of nursery rhymes includes a persistent myth that Mozart composed "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" at the tender age of four or five. That Mozart was a prodigy isn't in doubt, but the truth is that the lyrics really come from a poem called "The Star," written by British sisters Ann and Jane Taylor. In 1806, the poem appeared in a book titled -- appropriately for a book of nursery rhymes -- Rhymes for the Nursery. Of course, the "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" lyrics aren't the only words that have been set to this tune. There are Hungarian and German holiday carols set to the same music, and the popular "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" and "The Alphabet kid Song" have a similar whimsical string of notes -- a good thing to know for parents who want to ...

The tune is originally from France and it was first seen in print in Paris in 1761 – though the current song, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star didn’t exist back then. The melody to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" is ubiquitous--you may or may not have noticed that we also use it for "Baa Baa Black Sheep" and "The Alphabet Song." But it's an actually an old French folk song called "Ah! vous dirais-je Maman" ("Oh! Shall I Tell You Mommy"). About fifty years after the melody was first published, it was borrowed for "The Star," a nursery rhyme written by London poets Jane and Ann Taylor. "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" was born.

How did Mozart, of all people, get the credit? Around 1781, when "Ah! vous dirais-je Maman" was already an old classic, Mozart composed twelve variations on the simple tune. But so did plenty of other classical composers, including Franz Liszt and Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach. The melody would have been enormously popular with or without Mozart, and he certainly didn't originate it. But don't feel too bad for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He has a pretty solid musical résumé to fall back on, with or without "Twinkle Twinkle."
• "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" shares its tune with two other nursery rhymes, namely "The Alphabet Song," and a variation of it in "Baa, baa, black sheep," as well as a variety of Christmas songs from various places in Europe including Germany, Hungary, Spain and The Netherlands. But "Twinkle, Twinkle" has also seeped into popular music culture throughout the years. It makes an appearance in the music of Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World," where a large portion of the melody is quoted in his vocal line, transformed by the use of swing rhythms rather than the conventional straight-eights. In another adaptation, "Little Star" by The Elegants reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958. In more recent music culture, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince sampled this song in their Hip-Hop album Code Red (released in 1993) in a song called "Twinkle, Twinkle (I'm Not a Star)." The most famous Country interpretation of the song is probably "Someone Else's Star," recorded by Bryan White in 1995. Similarly, the song was also sampled in the American rapper Nicki Minaj's 2012 album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, in the song "Starship."

"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star About"
The history of nursery rhymes includes a persistent myth that Mozart composed "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" at the tender age of four or five. That Mozart was a prodigy isn't in doubt, but the truth is that the lyrics really come from a poem called "The Star," written by British sisters Ann and Jane Taylor. In 1806, the poem appeared in a book titled -- appropriately for a book of nursery rhymes -- Rhymes for the Nursery.
Of course, the "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" lyrics aren't the only words that have been set to this tune. There are Hungarian and German holiday carols set to the same music, and the popular "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" and "The Alphabet kid Song" have a similar whimsical string of notes -- a good thing to know for parents who want to mix up their sing-along lyrics rather than repeat "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" over and over again.
The melody to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" is ubiquitous--you may or may not have noticed that we also use it for "Baa Baa Black Sheep" and "The Alphabet Song." But it's an actually an old French folk song called "Ah! vous dirais-je Maman" ("Oh! Shall I Tell You Mommy"). About fifty years after the melody was first published, it was borrowed for "The Star," a nursery rhyme written by London poets Jane and Ann Taylor. "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" was born.

• The traditional song "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" was based on a poem called "The Star," written in 1806 by the English poet and novelist Jane Taylor, one of the lesser-known poets of the Romantic era. This poem was first published in a book called Rhymes for the Nursery, which was written and complied by Jane and her sister Ann Taylor. The poem was first published with the music in The Singing Master: First Class Tune Book in 1838. Jane Taylor is very rarely credited with the poetry of this song, which many assume to be a traditional.
• The music that usually accompanies this poem is a French children's folk melody called "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman" (roughly translated as "Oh I say to you, Mum"), which appeared in France in 1761 in a book of music called Les Amusements d'une Heure et Demy, by the Parisian Mr. Bouin. Mozart was exposed to this kids song when he lived in France during his mid-twenties and popularized it by composing a set of theme-and-variations for piano based on this melody in 1781/1782 called "Twelve variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman."
• "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" shares its tune with two other nursery rhymes, namely "The Alphabet Song," and a variation of it in "Baa, baa, black sheep," as well as a variety of Christmas songs from various places in Europe including Germany, Hungary, Spain and The Netherlands.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Lyrics
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveller in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny sparks;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye
'Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveller in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
