About the Artist
Kim has redefined the rich traditions of the harp with her innovative style and improvisational spirit. As a pioneer in the American folk harp movement, she combines cutting-edge artistry with a passionate sense of tradition, bringing a contemporary touch to a centuries-old instrument.

Born in Wisconsin and classically trained on piano and orchestral harp, Kim's discovery of the Celtic harp in the mid-70's grew into a profound love for the instrument, setting her upon the path of exploration for which she is now widely known. A renowned performer and instructor, her work encompasses over 20 album projects, 11 volumes of harp arrangements, three instructional videos and an international itinerary of concerts and retreats.

Product Description
Kim returns to Gourd Music with 14 beautiful instrumental arrangements of ancient melodies, traditional tunes, hymns, and contemporary compositions on Celtic harp.

Selections include The Youngest Daughter, Be Thou My Vision, Beauty in Tears, Poor Wayfaring Stranger, All Things Bright and Beautiful, The Boys of Ballisodare featuring George Winston on guitar, and the title track, plus a beautiful rendition of the Judy Collins song Since You've Asked with special guests Barry and Shelley Phillips.

4 out of 5 stars Fine Contribution.......2006-09-03

A fine compilation of Vaughn Williams' songs. Sung very well indeed by Johnson and Keenlyside with excellent accompaniment. This CD really shows the full range of Vaughn Williams vocal writing. This whole series is an admirable undertaking.

4 out of 5 stars lovely performance.......2006-03-24

This is a very nice compilation of Vaughan Williams' vocal music, some of which is not easy to find on CD. The performers do an excellent job. Nice voices, and the music is sensitively sung. A really good value.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful performances of stirring music.......2003-04-27

This CD contains some of Vaughan Williams' best vocal music. The singers are superb and the accompanist is sensitive.

I love the whole CD, but adore
Searching For Lambs, which is a touching love song, set for violin and tenor duet
Silent Noon
It Was A Lover and His Lass
Antiphon, the last song in the set of Five Mystical Songs. It is a great song of faith, set by an infamous agnostic. The Church would be the poorer without Vaughan Williams wonderful hymns and arrangements of hymns. [I also recommend Vaughan Williams' Hymnal and Pilgrm's Progress.].

I bought this set to hear On Wenlock Edge and am not disappointed. It is a great song cycle.

By the way, this bargain-priced CD includes all the song texts.

One of my favourite vocal CDs. Highly recommended.

        5 out of 5 stars GREAT CD FOR CHEAPO!.......2004-01-03

        Usually Naxos is hit or miss, but Anthony Rolfe Johnson and Simon Keenlyside pull off a great recording of a great selection of some of Vaughn Williams. Best 7 dollars I ever spent, really. On Wenlock Edge is particularly good, but really its all superb.

        5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2002-08-28

        Beautiful settings by Vaughan Williams, Splendid singing by both Anthony Rolfe Johnson and Simon Keenlyside. Atmospheric recording. Bliss! All lovers of art songs, rejoice!

          Deller is reposonsible for the rediscovery of contertenor vocals. This album contains lighter, shorter folk tunes of the Elizabethan age. Some may find Deller's falsetto eery or unnerving but he offers a masterful recreation of an ancient technique.
