About The Composer
Lyndon is a composer and choral musician. He composes contemporary hymns
and choral music. His music, often sacred, is inspired by his strong background
in unaccompanied church and choral music.
His choral music has been performed throughout the US by middle and high
school level choirs as well as youth choirs and community choirs while his
church hymn music has been sung by congregations, bible institutes and other
religious institutions throughout the US and Canada and has included a commission
in 2019 by the Cliff Brenneman Trust Fund for the Conservation of
Church Music (ON, Canada), and a hymn tune contest winner in 2015 for the
Shenandoah Christian Music Camp (Virginia, USA).
Beyond music, Lyndon’s other interests include design, culinary experiences,
and dating his beautiful wife, Tina. They live in Myerstown, Pennsylvania
where they enjoy life with their two children.
