Clark William Lawlor (b. 1980) is an award-winning composer, software engineer, cyclist, and pickleball enthusiast from Salt Lake City, Utah.

Following a nearly two-decade hiatus, he rekindled his passion for choral music in 2022 after joining a local choir. His first choral composition in over 20 years achieved international acclaim, launching a new chapter in his creative journey. Since then, Clark has been steadily building his body of work, earning multiple awards along the way.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are, Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. When the blazing sun is set, And the grass with dew is wet, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. Then the traveler in the dark Thanks you for your tiny spark, He could not see where to go If you did not twinkle so. In the dark blue sky you keep, And often through my curtains peep, For you never shut your eye Till the sun is in the sky. As your bright and tiny spark Lights the traveler in the dark, Though I know not what you are, Twinkle, twinkle, little star. by Jane Taylor (1783 - 1824)
