About the Artist

World renowned Celtic harper Kim Robertson performs a treasury of songs beloved by generation after generation. Kim adds her superb touch and exquisite arrangements to the timeless beauty of traditional Irish, Welsh and Scottish folk songs including Foggy Dew, Bally Loo Lammy and Gartan Mother's Lullaby, to the classical grace of J.S. Bach's Sheep May Safely Graze, to the title tune, from the Broadway musical Peter Pan -- one of the sweetest lullabies we know. On Tender Shepherd, Kim magically combines meditative and sprightly moods to offer us a soothing time-out from a busy world, conjuring a truly peaceable kingdom in which, as on the album cover, lions lie down with lambs.

Product Description

As an independent label, we've worked hard to develop a distinctive sound — part-folk, part-classical, all-acoustic instrumental music. We feel our music is indeed unique, and we've never compromised in our determination to produce only the highest quality, most beautifully packaged recordings.

We include detailed liner notes for those who are curious about the history and background of the music.

Gourd has licensed music to Warner Bros. Music, Narada, Hearts of Space, Windham Hill, The Disney Channel, A&E and The History Channel. Selections from the Gourd recording The World Turned Upside Down were featured on the Ken Burns documentary Thomas Jefferson. Three Gourd recordings were featured on Ken Burns’ latest project ( a documentary on Susan B. Anthony & Elizabeth Cady Stanton) on PBS.

We got this CD as a gift before our daughter was born in '05.....we listened to it as I was giving birth to her...and now she is 4 and all through her life we've put this on when things are particularly difficult or chaotic and it ALWAYS calms her. We now have an 8 month foster son and today while my daughter was dealing with the flu and the baby was fussing and I was feeling overwhelmed I put this on and prayed a little and,instantaneously, things were peaceful! I LOVE this CD!

This music is so peaceful and lovely. Kim Robertson is my favorite harpist thus far. There is something so uncomplicated and comforting about the way she plays. I highly recommend her music, and especially this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tender Shepherd CD and Harp Sheet Music, February 3, 2007

This CD is lovely and I have the harp sheet music that goes with the CD. Kim is a lovely harpist and also an excellent teacher both in person and with her instructional books. Her arrangements for the songs that go with the CD are wonderful. My only complaint is that the sheet music seems to be missing the Tender Shepherd song that is included on the CD. Which is a shame because it is a lovely arrangement and the piano arrangement from the Broadway Musical is not nearly as nice.
