2010 Festival Repertoire

Posted on March 31, 2010 | Filed Under 2010, Music

Please note that we are NOT dividing into tins/coppers/platinums/titaniums etc. for this year’s festival. We know that finances are tight, and we do not want you to have to spend your yearly budget on festival music. We ask that all choirs prepare the Massed Ringing selections, and as much of the other selections as their budget and time allows.

2009 Festival Clinician: Lloyd Larson

Posted on November 11, 2008 | Filed Under 2009, Clinicians

For over 25 years, Lloyd Larson has been an active composer and arranger for several major publishing companies of church music. His publications include over 1,000 published works including choral octavos, numerous Christmas and Easter cantatas, keyboard collections, vocal solo and duet collections, instrumental solo and ensemble publications, orchestrations, and handbell settings. It is his work in the local church, though, which continues to be the catalyst for much of his writing. He is an active participant in his own local church where he currently directs the adult choir in addition to regularly being involved in worship planning and leadership. He is married to his college sweetheart, Marci. They have three children (two of whom are married) and one granddaughter.
