Two Part Mass Setting that children sing?

    I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of Mass setting that could be sung by a children's choir. We are starting a choir (grade 3-6) next school year. I want to find a Mass setting that we could use for our school Mass. I know of plenty of singable unison English settings but was curious if any one knew of any English settings that are perhaps in 2 parts and could be done by a beggining choir.

    Not an English setting, but "Mass in Mi" by Lawrence Bevenot is a nice simple 2-voice mass with organ accompaniment.

    I re-arranged a dated Natalie Sleeth brevis version of a children's setting to comply with MR3 for our school. PM me if you're interested.

    It's not English, but Perosi's Missa Te Deum Laudamus is two-part, and uber easy.

    I thought it said that Melo dated Natalie Sleeth.

    I have "Mass for Children" by Sister M. Catherine, S.S.M.N. (published by McLaughlin & Reilly, 1976) for "unison or two equal voices." Another might be "A Simple Hymn-Tune Mass in English" by Carroll Thomas Andrews (published by GIA in 1964). I actually have about 15 others in English but perhaps you could use one of these I've mentioned. PM me if you want copies.

    Melo,

    When was Sleeth's material dated? (I recognize that I'll be the only one around here who doesn't appreciate her stuff)
