Been a long time since I updated here. Okay, here is the
thing, I am not dead! Quite the opposite, I have been hard
at work. Thus year I have:

Started taking AP Music theory at my high school, nearly
finished the piece that I have been working on (sketches in
c major), started to compose a musical in honor of my late
clarinet teacher, Andrew Anthony Mormile, and have also
started to write an opera, and a demned good one at that!




Besides my composing work, I finished the rearrangement of
Rhapsody in blue for clarinet octet, and you can hear that
if you head over to my youtube channel,
www.youtube.com/quantumdylan53.



Also, I am part of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's
youth ensemble, and got to play a lovely cadenza in Light
Calvalry overture. Plus, I will be playing Begin the Beguine
in the jazz band for my school. Mission accomplished! />


And besides even the performance aspect of my busy life, I
am now the proud owner of a zuckerman z-box harpsichord with
both 8' and 4' octaves. I've nearly gotten
the 8' restrung, and you can hear it on my youtube
channel as well. As for everything else, I may release some
soundbites relating to my opera soon, so stay tuned



Love you all, Dylan Packard

Hello everyone! I merely wanted to let everyone know that if
anyone wants to play the piece Together, I would appreciate
it if you would talk to me first, as this is one of the
largest pieces I've composed and it represents a lot of
my time. Thank you very much!

At my school, in the spring, the orchestra and the band come
together to form a symphonic orchestra. I'm a player in
that, so I decided to rearrange Rachmaninoff's Prelude
in C# Minor for an orchestra. If anyone would like a copy of
the piece, please be patient. Sometime this week it should
be done. I've got some other symphony band pieces, and
some more orchestral pieces in the works as well.
