Always looking for Choral Music for my young choirs. I have 3 children's choirs I am currently directing/conducting. 1. 52 8 yr olds 2. 94 9 - 11 year olds 3. An auditioned choir of 32 10/11 yr olds. Any suggestions on inspiring yet simple 2 part repertoire great for concerts? Anyone?

Two contrasting songs which kids love are 'The Heavenly Aeroplane' by John Rutter, and his 'Gaelic Blessing'. I've tried to put links here without success, but YouTube is full of performances. Maybe I'll try to upload the videos... :)

Another Australian composer Paul Jarman is enjoying considerable success with school-age choirs. Again some of these songs have been recorded by Gondwana Voices so it's worth hunting down their recordings on the ABC Classics label.
