Easter Music?

As most of you know I am a fanatic about Christmas music. I have Christmas music on my IPod year-round. My CD player that I listen to as I go to sleep still have this year's Christmas CD's in it so the songs come up on the shuffle cycle frequently. So my question is why is there not an equal amount if Easter music? Easter is just as important from the Christian standpoint, if not more important than Christmas. It gives us great cause for celebration. Without Easter, Christmas would be pointless. Christ's resurrection is the only reason we have a relationship with the Father in the first place. Without Good Friday and Easter Sunday, Christ would've just been a great prophet or teacher. Is it because we are celebrating something as "dark" as the death of a human? Is it because of the senselessness of it happening from the temporal perspective?

So again I ask, why do we not have the same amount of Easter music as Christmas music? I can happily say that a CD was recently released that I consider Easter music. It has some of today's top Christian worship leaders singing about the Crucifixion and the glory of the Resurrection. I managed to get a copy of it through the help of my high-speed Internet brother. I actually have some of these songs already, but I like them in the sequence of this CD. It's called Raise Up the Crown. It may be an older CD but it's new to me. Take a minute and think about how important Easter is to us as Christians and how we don't give it the same hype and energy as we do Christmas. I'll get off my soapbox for the moment.
