Here’s variation #2 – Twinkle Twinkle.mp3
(Go here to get variation #3!)
After writing about this song (here), I set to work recording it – you may have been one of the few lucky ones to have downloaded the now rare (and deleted) version that I posted earlier today – I tried to clean it up, and offer this version now – Mozart did 12 variations on this tune – I’m on my second, and may try a few more before it’s all said and done. It’s an interesting song – weird that I could do a bass line that isn’t too far from Pachabel Canon in D – Anyway, enjoy this variation – I’m going to shoot for at least 10 more. Look for them to pop up every now and again.
(…MORE than a few months later, I finally got to number three…check it out here!)
Oh yeah, here’s the entire poem…if you wanted to keep singing -
The Star
- 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 traveler in the dark,
- Thanks you for your tiny spark,
- 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.
- – Jane Taylor, 1806

No problem! By the way, I like the 3rd variation better…and, to put in a shameless plug, if you have young English students, try downloading my song “ABC Blues.” You can get it on iTunes – or through my website (www.steveandfriends.com) – I’ll be happy to send the lyrics along.
All the best!
