Twinkle, Twinkle with a Wrinkle

One of the worlds most widely known melodies, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star is based on a French melody (Ah! Vous dirai-je, maman) first published in 1761. The lyrics were first published in 1806, in a collection of nursery rhymes by Jane Taylor. This arrangement begins with a traditional version of the melody before developing into different rhythmic treatments of the tune. This gives young musicians an introduction to elements of style.
