About this piece
The words are Jane Taylor's poem "The Star", published in 1806 in Rhymes for the Nursery. The tune is older and unrelated: the French melody "Ah! vous dirai-je, maman", first published in 1761, which has carried dozens of different texts in different languages. Mozart wrote Twelve Variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman", K. 265, on it — he did not compose the tune. It is the same melody as the alphabet song and "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep". Source: Wikipedia
