2009 Festival Clinician: Lloyd Larson

bell news — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 20:08:10 +0000

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.
