See [[Legend (Tchaikovsky)]] and [[tchaikovsky:Sixteen_Songs_for_Children,_Op._54|Sixteen Songs for Children, Op. 54]].
Tchaikovsky's '''''Sixteen Songs for Children''''' (Шестнадцать песен для детей), Op. 54, were written at [[tchaikovsky:Kamenka|Kamenka]] in October and November 1883, except for No. 16 which dates from around December 1880.
Legend (Russian: Легенда, Legenda), Op. 54, No. 5 (also known as The Crown of Roses in some English-language sources)[1] is a composition by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Originally written in 1883 as a song for solo voice and piano, it was subsequently arranged by Tchaikovsky for solo voice and orchestra (1884), and then for unaccompanied choir (1889).[2] The words are based on the poem "Roses and Thorns" by American poet Richard Henry Stoddard, originally published in Graham's Magazine of May 1856.[2][3] :▼
