Jonathan Graybill and Sara Priebe are composing a large scale orchestral work based on the archetypes of the 12 signs of the Zodiac. This is the Prelude from that work.

Prelude from The Zodiac

Jonathan Graybill and Sara Priebe composed this piece in tribute to Maya Angelou, based on her personal astrology. Guided holistically and in detail by the insights of her natal chart,  we composed this piece, which is meant with gratitude to her for the lasting beneficial influence of the work of her life and the inspiration of her dreams. With Sun conjunct Jupiter in Aries, Moon in Libra, and Ascendant conjunct Neptune in Leo, Maya Angelou was a courageous and strong, high minded, and gracious, passionate writer and leader who advocated for fairness and social justice. This is an example of a 1-2 minute piece we are offering to compose based on the astrology of your natal chart. Composition of the personalized astrological pieces is currently offered in reward for pledges on the Kickstarter Project. We hope you enjoy the tribute to Maya Angelou!

In Tribute to Maya Angelou

Mars is stationary retrograde today, June 26th, until August 27th, 2018.
Jonathan Graybill and I created this track thinking you might be amused to hear Mars Retrograde... :) 
Track sample from: Mars from The Planets by Gustav Holst, London Symphony Orchestra, Geoffrey Simon conducting 
We are currently composing a large scale work, The Zodiac for Orchestra. In this process, we are of course aware and appreciative of The Planets by Holst and of other cosmically themed music. We admire that music, and we want to create our own envisioning of The Zodiac in music that is intrinsically and significantly intentionally informed by the legacy of astrology and by the psychological archetypes of the signs. We are currently in the middle of a Kickstarter campaign and offering rewards such as personalized astrological compositions for your pledges to support our efforts to create something you'll love. Any amount you offer will help to sustain our process, and we appreciate your support. To learn more about our project: http://kck.st/2JD6R2a

Holst: The Planets

Holst's Mars "Mars Retrograde of Summer 2018"

I composed In Tribute to Vincent van Gogh with his brilliance, emotionality, and his prolific creative nature in mind, informed by the astrology of his natal chart. I genuinely mean it as a heartfelt expression of reflective gratitude to him. It is also an example of personalized astrological compositions that Jonathan Graybill and I offer to compose for the $60 pledge level of our current Kickstarter campaign. The campaign is to support our ability to compose our large scale work The Zodiac for Orchestra, which is informed by the archetypes of the 12 signs. For the pieces offered as rewards for pledges to Kickstarter, we will compose music for you informed by the astrology of your natal chart, based on the positions of your Sun, Moon, and Ascendant, and the chart will be considered holistically and in detail. You will recieve a score and .mp3 of your piece. Jonathan and I may choose to compose the pledge reward pieces at times solo or together. We are composing The Zodiac for Orchestra 100% collaboratively. I composed In Tribute to Vincent van Gogh solo during my composition residency at Soaring Gardens Artists Retreat, entirely while the Moon was in Sagittarius, just as the Moon was in Sagittarius when van Gogh was born, and I'm so thankful for that opportunity. I am thankful for Jonathan's support as he engraved the score. I am so happy to be creating, and I hope you enjoy In Tribute to Vincent van Gogh!
