Lloyd
Larson served as Associate Pastor of Musci and Worship at Meadow Park
Church in Columbus, Ohio until June, 1994. The music program there included
the Sanctuary Choir, a fully-graded children and youth choir program,
multiple handbell choirs and an active instrumental program. In August,
1994, Larson and his family relocated to the Minneapolis, MN, area where
he now makes his living as a free-lance composer/arranger. 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 and youth choirs, in addition to regularly
being involved in worship planning and leadership. Since 1982, Larson
has been an active composer and arranger for several major publishing
companies. His publications include nearly 300 choral octavos, Christmas
and Easter cantatas, several keyboard collections, numerous vocal solo
and duet collections, instrumental solo and ensemble publications, orchestrations,
and handbell settings. His past includes extensive recording experience
as a singer, keyboard player and arranger. He has done arranging for an
internationally-broadcast radio program, and frequently is called upon
as a guest conductor, composer and clinician. In 1989, he completed an
editorial assignment for a new hymnal of the Church of God (Anderson,
IN) titled Worship the Lord. He is also co-editor of the Hymnal
Companion for that hymnal. He was a contributor to the recently released
The Complete Library of Christian Worship, edited by Dr. Robert
Webber. Mr. Larson holds music degrees from Lebanon Valley College, the
Eastman School of Music, and Catholic University of America.
