Blessed Mary Christmas is a lovely gentle two-part carol perfect for KS2 children. The children enjoyed singing the 2nd part echoes quietly in the verses and then getting louder to allow the sustained descant to float beautifully over the chorus. I performed this with a very large choir at the Hertford, Ware and District Schools Carol services and again with just a class of children at Sacred Heart School in Ware - the carol worked well in both situations.
