‘Christmas Colours’ is a palette consisting of several Christmas songs.
Bruce Fraser has mainly used the colours green (the colour of holly) and white (the colour of snow).
This composition begins with the chiming of festive bells - if you listen well, however, you can already hear short fragments from 'The Holly and the Ivy', whose entire melody is finally played, alternated with 'The Sussex Carol'. After this, the pace slows down and the stately 'See amid the Winter Snow' sounds, but parts from 'Jingle Bells' and 'Silent Night' can also be heard.
Then, after walking under 'The Holly and the Ivy' once again, the celebration of Christmas may begin!

Christmas Colours is een potpourri met allemaal verschillende kerstliedjes.
Bruce Fraser gebruikt vooral de kleuren groen van de 'holly' (hulst) en wit van de 'snow' (sneeuw).
Het werkje begint met feestelijke klokjes waar,als u goed luistert, fragmentjes van 'The Holly and the Ivy' tussendoor klinken. Uiteindelijk klinkt de hele melodie, afgewisseld met 'The Sussex Carol'.
Na de tempovertaging klinkt het statige 'See amid the winter snow',met fragmenten van 'Jingle Bells' en 'Silent Night'.
Tenslotte lopen we nog één keer onder 'The Holly and the Ivy' door en kan het Kerstfeest beginnen.
