Aya Al Khalili

MEET AYA AL KHALILI!

Hi, my name is Aya (She/Her) and I was born in Jordan, currently living in Ottawa! I find myself spending time watching movies and tv shows, my current favourite being Suits. Fun fact, in music class I’m known to be Goofy, apparently due to my personality.

This year, I’ve decided to rejoin music class and have been currently learning the saxophone for the past year. In previous years, I learned to play trombone in the middle school band. Music is a big part of my life and my favourite artists include: Alec Benjamin, Glass Animals and Artic Monkeys!

Aya's Final Composition
"WATERFALL"

"Waterfall" is a soundscape composition written for the piano, harp, violin, violoncello, glockenspiel, and celesta. The theme of this composition was inspired by the journey of water in a big waterfall. To reflect the concept of water, much of my rhythmic ideas were based on the ripples of water, as more and more texture is built for the climax. I wanted the listeners to experience the slow build-up of water that leads to a waterfall and how all the instruments combine to create a cohesive idea.

"WATERFALL"

For your best listening experience, we highly recommend using headphones!
