Lloyd Larson

For over 30 years, Lloyd Larson has been an active composer and arranger for several major publishing companies of church and school music. His music compositions and arrangements number well over 1,300 published works – including choral anthems, numerous extended Christmas and Easter works, 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 has been involved in church music ministry for over 35 years, serving churches in Indiana, Ohio, and Minnesota.    

Originally from central Illinois, Lloyd received a B.A. in music from Anderson University (IN) and a Master’s degree in church music and composition from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (KY). He has done subsequent graduate work at Southern Baptist Seminary, Ohio State University, and Northern Baptist Theological Seminary (IL). 

Lloyd is married to his college sweetheart, Marci. They have three children – Stephanie (married to Brandt), Philip (married to Kylee), and Jeff (married to Erika) – along with four grandchildren, Addie, Eli, Izzy, and Oliver. He makes his home in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area.

   Lloyd Larson has cleverly written a dynamic Palm Sunday anthem based on John 12:13-15. Works for unison voices (such as children) or 2-part mixed, or a mixture of the two. Bouncing to a cut-time beat, the procession of Palm Sunday is celebrated – he even smuggled in a bit of the Ellecombe hymn-tune. Easy, for all church styles. Available: Unison/2-Part.
