Chime Lady
TRILOGY
Is your church/organization planning a special event where you would like memorable music? The Trilogy group is available for programs which can be designed to meet your specific needs. The Allens and Ms. Dawson reside in Orlando and North Port, Florida, respectively; they are readily available in those general areas. Trilogy may be available for programs in other locales as well. Mr. Allen plays advanced level pieces demonstrating his talent in the use of multiple bells. Ms. Dawson focuses on the lighter side of music. They can be contacted through Mr. Allen's website link (below) or by using Ms. Dawson's "Contact" page.
Trilogy brings chimes, bells, and voice to the concert stage with each as the solo instrument and joined together. Ms. Dawson uses a 2-octave set of Malmark Choirchimes. Mr. Allen uses a 3-octave set of Malmark handbells. The group's repertoire includes favorite hymns and anthems from sacred music literature plus light classical music, patriotic and popular music, music from other countries, and holiday music. While piano accompaniment supports the handbells' tone well, a fully orchestrated CD accompaniment enhances the special beauty of the delicate Choirchime instrument. The CD accompaniments have been arranged by her mentor, Betty J. Price and Tim Doran.
