Aroura is a composition for strings by Greek/French composer Iannis Xenakis.
It is scored for four first violins, three second violins, two violas, two cellos and one double bass, even though it is clarified by Xenakis that it can also be performed by a larger string orchestra or ensemble.
Aroura makes an extensive use of glissandos, jagged chords, sound clusters and other techniques exploited in avant-garde movements.
First and second violins rarely play unison, but each of the violinist has their own line.
Xenakis uses graphic notation up to six times in the score, the first one being the opening of the composition.
