I hope everyone had a Happy and rewarding and family-filled Easter holiday - or, if you are not Christian, enjoyed a few days off hopefully. As my family was gathered around the table having our traditional ham and potato dinner, the question arose as to Easter Music. Whereas Christmas music has been done by each and every artist from pop music to country music and Christmas Carols abound, there does not seem to be the same repertoire of music for the Easter holiday. We wondered why this is, especially as it is a more significant holiday in the Christian year.

Easter in the early Church relied heavily on Classical Music and to this day, most Church masses do include classical music at this time of year. But, even going through how the Christian music is emanating out of Nashville, Tennessee - there are not particular songs really aimed at Easter.

Any ideas of true Easter songs, either hymns or secular tunes, would be great. We were stumped, but I am sure my readers have some ideas! Now, back to work... Ed, The Music Man
