Songs For Easter
(Play Playlist - Yahoo Music Unlimited)
(Play Playlist - Rhapsody)
Holiday music is a very small percentage of overall music sales. And Christmas music is by far the largest part of this relatively small slice. Halloween has its fair share of music, as does St. Patrick's Day, but for Easter music you really have to dig deep.
This playlist starts with the two most popular Easter time songs in history, "Peter Cottontail" and "Easter Parade", but is followed by 17 more tracks, which can be linked to Easter in some way, both secular and religious.
This year, Easter falls of March 23, which is unusually early and also happens to be my daughter's birthday. The way in which the date is calculated is complicated and the full cycle repeats only once every 5,700,000 years. There are 35 possible dates on which Easter Sunday can fall, the earliest being March 22. Easter will not fall on March 23rd again until 2160.
