Charlotte Mason taught foreign language songs even before she started teaching solfa. Children of all ages can join in singing these songs together. Each song includes a video, written-out lyrics, and musical notation (where available).
These foreign language songs are made possible by the hard work and generosity of Dany Rosevear. The song lyrics and printed music may vary slightly from the linked videos. The translations are not exact. From Ms. Rosevear: “Literal translations do not always make sense to the English ear so these have been translated freely (very freely in some cases!) to complement the music and capture the spirit of each song.” All songs may be sung in English as well, although the foreign language version is much preferred.
