Hello, My Name is Lilly McGiff

You can find me and my music in the links below

I am a composer and instrumentalist based in Boise, ID. I have been writing music for over 10 years and am currently pursuing a degree in Music Composition through Berklee College of Music.

My compositional style centers mainly on orchestral textures that create atmosphere and narrative through dynamic and instrumental contrast and expressive harmony. I love to create music that carries emotional weight and depth. I have always been one to express myself through music and I believe that I leave parts of my soul in everything I write. Composing has led me through some hard times in my life and I am grateful to have the privilege of being able to create music for a living.

To date, I have published two orchestral pieces, Sunrise on the Mountain and Among the Aspens, both of which reflect my passion for evocative storytelling through music. These works showcase my ability to develop thematic material, orchestrate effectively for full ensemble, and create immersive sonic landscapes. I also have the honor of being a current member of the Alliance for Women Film Composers, a “community of composers and colleagues dedicated to supporting and celebrating the work of women and gender diverse composers through advocacy and education.”

As a student at Berklee, I continue to refine my technical skills in orchestration, scoring, and collaborative production. I am always interested in contributing to film, television, game, concert, or multimedia projects that seek a compelling orchestral voice. Please don’t hesitate to contact me.
