    Hello all,

    I was wondering if you had any suggestions as to some metrical English settings of the Benedictus. I would really love to have my 1st and 2nd grade students sing one for their spring concert, but since they will need to memorize everything, it would need to be something they could pick up on rather quickly. So far my search has turned up nothing particularly useful, so I would greatly appreciate any ideas!

    AABA melodic structure - FOREST GREEN - the kind of folk tunes easily mastered by younger children:

    My daughter is in 1st grade and she (and her class) learned FOREST GREEN ("O Little Town of Bethlehem") for their Christmas program.
