The Easter production calendar

Easter falls on a different Sunday every year, so church media teams and retail marketers both work backward from a date that shifts. Here is how the run-up usually unfolds.

About Easter production music
Two audiences, one moving Sunday, and the music has to serve both.
Easter asks more of a music search than most holidays because it carries two distinct audiences at once. A worship team needs music that supports a sunrise service and a Holy Week program without pulling focus from the message. A retail or grocery team needs music that says spring, family, and celebration in the first few seconds of a commercial. GMP Music licenses Easter production music across both, produced and recorded by accomplished composers in recording studios specifically for GMP Music.
Ministry media teams use it as reverent background music for worship service video, sacred underscore for Holy Week and sunrise service content, and warm instrumental music for church outreach and livestream intros. Retail, grocery, and family brands reach for the same catalog for spring background music in egg hunt promos, candy and brunch commercials, and kids programming. Nearly all of our titles include a theme version with full instrumentation, alternate versions with less instrumentation, edits at common broadcast lengths of 60, 30, 15, and stingers, and versions separated by sections or parts.
Licensing is clean and simple. The standard license covers almost everything, so the same track can run across livestream, broadcast, streaming, social, and event video. The only exception is theatrical release, which requires an additional license. Every license includes master and publishing rights for the GMP-owned catalog, with clear documentation for your production.
Whether your project needs quiet reverence or a bright spring bounce, we are eager to assist you in your music search, to find just the right track that will represent your brand and vision for your media project.
