Additional info/contents	In 'Ding Dong it's Christmas' Scottish composer Bruce Fraser makes a sport of misleading his audience time and again. The title already indicates that this piece has been based on the well-known Carol 'Ding Dong Merrily on High', even if the melody makes a somewhat halting start. When it gathers pace, however, also due to the percussion section, suddenly various other carols may be recognized. Peace and quiet reign in the middle part, during which we can enjoy Bach's charming 'O Jesulein süss'. 'Ding Dong it's Christmas' ends in the same way it began, even if more and more Carols put in an appearance. Merry Christmas! In 'Ding Dong it's Christmas' zet de Schotse componist Bruce Fraser de luisteraar op humorvolle wijze regelmatig op het verkeerde been. De titel geeft al aan dat het werkje gebaseerd is op het de bekende carol 'Ding Dong merrily on high' , al komt de melodie wat moeilijk op gang. Als het lekker begint te lopen, mede dankzij het slagwerk, komen er plotseling verschillende carols om de hoek kijken. Het middendeel vormt een rustpunt. Hier kunnen we genieten van het lieflijke 'O kindeke klein' van de grote Bach. 'Ding Dong it's Christmas' eindigt op dezelfde wijze zoals het begon, al komen er steeds meer carols op visite. Merry Christmas!
