The Colours of Christmas by John Rutter

The Colours of Christmas by John Rutter

for SA and piano or orchestra With a simple, appealing melody and a flowing accompaniment, The Colours of Christmas evokes a touching sense of longing for the joys of the festive season.

The Colours of Christmas takes as its poetic conceit characteristic colours of the season - green for ivy, gold for the gifts brought to Christ etc, which Rutter swathes in typically tuneful fashion for upper voices and piano* Mattheww Greenall, The Singer, August 2011 *
