After earning his theology degree from Union Seminary in New York, Lloyd Pfautsch (1921?2003) found his true calling in church music. He was invited to Southern Methodist University in 1958
to start their graduate program in sacred music and remained there for 34 years. Outside the university, he formed the Dallas Civic Chorus and led it for 25 years. He was nationally known for
his conducting and the quality of the musicians he produced as well as for his compositions, many of which are illustrated here with his handwritten notations.
