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, Lloyd has been an active composer and arranger for several major
publishing companies of church and school music. His compositions and
arrangements include well over 1,500 published works — including choral anthems,
numerous extended Christmas, Easter and non‑seasonal works, keyboard collections,
vocal solo and duet collections, instrumental works for solo and ensembles,
orchestrations, and handbell settings. The resulting notoriety has placed him in
constant demand as a clinician throughout North America. It is Lloyd's
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 four grandchildren, Addie, Eli, Izzy, and Oliver.
