Lloyd Larson
Lloyd Larson earned a B.A. from Anderson University of Anderson, Indiana in 1976 and a M.C.M. from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary of Louisville, Kentucky in 1979. He has done additional graduate work at Southern Baptist Seminary, The Ohio State University, and Northern Baptist Seminary, Chicago, Illinois.
Since 1982, Larson has been an active composer and arranger for several major publishing companies of church and school music. His compositions and arrangements include well over 2,000 published works – including choral anthems, numerous extended Christmas, Easter, and non-seasonal works, keyboard collections, vocal solo and duet collections, instrumental solo and ensemble publications, orchestrations, and handbell settings. The resulting notoriety has placed him in constant demand as a clinician throughout North America. It is his work in the local church that continues to be the catalyst for much of his writing.
Lloyd and his wife, Marci, live in Maple Grove, Minnesota. They have three children: Stephanie, married to Brandt; Philip, married to Kylee; and Jeff married to Jacquelyn. They also have nine grandchildren: Addie, Eli, Izzy, Oliver, Dax, Ever, Grace, James and Daniel.
