Upon returning to Akron in 1967, Griebling became immersed in the area’s musical opportunities, including singing with the Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Chorus and participating in the Akron Scholastic Composers Contest, NFMC affiliate junior clubs, and various national competitions for young composers. Encouraged by her successes in the latter, and by her experiences at the Junior Conservatory Camp in Vermont, now The Waldon School, by the age of 12 she began to seriously consider herself a composer and, inspired by Paul Hindemith’s claim to be able to play the instruments he composed for, to study viola, bassoon, and voice, as well as piano. \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eUpon her graduation from Harvey Firestone Senior High School in 1976, Griebling enrolled at the Eastman School of Music where she earned her BM in Composition (1980) and studied Viola under Francis Tursi.

Drawn to New Mexico by curiosity about the inspiration for Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings, Griebling found new direction for her own compositional style in the 1990s. With its ‘big skies’, play of light and shadow, and unique cultural intersections, she is particularly inspired by the ruggedly dramatic and austere landscapes of Northern New Mexico. Later travels to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand in 2000, to Iceland, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland, and Yorkshire whilst conducting research to generate the libretto for her third opera, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRichard III\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, have similarly inspired Griebling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eIn 2018 she took early retirement from Hendrix College where she now holds the rank of Professor emerita of Music, and from the Arkansas Symphony, to join her British husband, Robin ‘Rob’ Brown, in Manchester, UK.

Mom enjoyed sitting on the porch swing observing the birds at the feeders, particularly chickadees. Before their 50th Anniversary Mary Ann fell on the stairs. While recovering, she became determined to dance the tango at their anniversary, and dance it they did. The last performance of her music Mom attended was her “Amore por Tango” for Woodwind Quintet in 2020. Alzheimer’s is characterized by memory loss and agitation. The final movement of the symphony brings back themes from the earlier movements in an agitated waltz-like kaleidoscope of timbres and textures.
