In Step CD (2011)
Amarillis discography Waltzes range from tranquil to tempestuous, romantic to rowdy. There are cowboy waltzes, jazz waltzes, waltzes to fall in love to, and waltzes to make your feet fly. So many waltzes, so little time. We have selected some of our favorites for this album, plus some exciting bonus tracks: a schottische and a medley of zwiefachers - try it! From sublime waltzes to lively jigs and reels, Amarillis has been pleasing dancers and listeners for many years. Amarillis is Maro Avakian, piano, Donna Isaac, fiddle and viola, and Allison Thompson, concertina, piano accordion, and button accordion. Amarillis plays for contra and English country dancing, as well as waltzes and other couple dances.

Waltzing In The Trees CD (2010)
Amarillis songs We love to play for dancers. We like the energy that flows from our music to their feet and back again. We enjoy jamming and improvising on a great tune until the dancers scream with excitement. We hope that some of this fun appears of this CD. We like romantic and tender waltzes and play a lot of them at our dances. Maro wrote "Waltzing in the Trees" for some dancers she knew who lived in a tree house. "Fair-Haired Lass" was given to Danna long ago by a fellow fiddler; we believe it's an Irish air. "Enrichez-Vous" is a favorite for waltzers, and has had an English country dance written to go with it.
When we started playing for dances, we played English country dance tunes. Our name, "Amarillis," comes from the dance of that name. We like to play it as part of a medley with two other old tunes, "Knole Park" and "Portsmouth." The modern jig, "Boys of Antrim," - usually played for contras - fits beautifully with some other old English tunes, "Green Willow" and Jacob Hall's Jig." Sometimes we make up stories to fit the tunes as we work on them. In "Capt. McCann / The Knott," we imagine the beautifull girl bidding farewell to the gallant soldier.
Contra dancers may be unfamiliar with the slip-jig rhythm (9/8) of "pembroke / Up With Aily" and "Round About Our Coal Fire / The Clout." We love the dreamy yet insistent quality - they give a whole new feel to the dance experience.
