“Did you ever see a lassie?” is a nursery rhyme which, although first collected in the United States, seems to have Scottish origins, as the words “lassie” and “laddie” mean “girl” and “boy” in Scottish. It is only in the mid-twentieth century that it began to be sung in Great Britain.
The tune of the “Did you ever see a lassie?” is the same as the one of “The More We Get Together” and the German “Oh du lieber Augustin”.

The Orff arrangement of the song includes:
- Alto Recorder
- Glockenspiel
- Alto Metallophone
- Soprano Xylophone
- Alto Xylophone
- Bass Xylophone

An alto recorder accompanies the voice, and remember that you can replace (or double) it with a soprano one, by read the line one octave lower. As for the rest of the instruments, we would say that this is a very easy arrangement that you will not hesitate to recommend to your beginner class without a second though (!).
