"Discovering a work like this one is what makes concertgoing exciting. Griebling-Haigh has an outstanding ear for orchestral effect. [She] can provide us with scores of compelling melody and texture in an up-to-date voice that nevertheless makes good use of the large 19th-century orchestra. The composer also understands the need for wit and doesnÁt let her music bog down in dull solemnity."

Trees (Symphonic Suite for full orchestra)

Lancaster Symphony Orchestra, August 6, 1978

"The piece is truly modern and contemporary in concept but avoids the clinical and the sterile so often found in such work. As a result, its careful construction, precise rhythm and carefully joined dynamics give it space and breadth in a structure which carries a sophisticated musical line."
