A look inside the art book
leaf through ‘early music bird
Golden Hour – A gift from the darkness
Some nights seem to be never-ending and gloomy, offering no escape. However, we know one thing for sure: the morning follows even the darkest of nights.
What if nature was trying to tell us that after complete and utter darkness, we can count on her to present us with a magical moment, a golden morning light to inspire and strengthen us throughout the day and in the night ahead?
early music bird. early new music gives musical and artistic expression to this message from nature: arias that celebrate daybreak are embedded in early morning birdsong; Krieger’s aria Einsamkeit rings out from the shadowy darkness just before sunrise; and Bach’s Ey! Wie schmeckt der Coffee süße calls for a fragrant cup of morning coffee—after all, every day should begin with a hearty breakfast.
Our project is about encouraging people to trust and believe in what is beautiful, what unites and strengthens, sustains and supports us, and what we can always rely on: the voices of nature, music and art.
The dawn chorus, the sun that rises, golden and full of promise, from behind the mountains and the scent of freshly brewed coffee. . . . . . With music and book take you into the enchanted world of daybreak.
Produced in Austria in environmentally friendly and sustainable production, the CD & Booklet is to be published as a hardcover book with a semi-linen binding with 192 pages in German and a separate edition in English.
With musical excellence, the quest for an authentic musical language and uncompromising artistic quality, we dedicate ourselves to genre-crossing projects around Early and New Music – and we’ve been doing it since 2012. What drives us is the curiosity to seek out centuries-old works of masterful music in the archives and to convey them into the present with original sound and a fresh lightness. Preceding from the essential in-depth study of sources and respect for the composers’ scores and manuscripts, we work with well-versed musicians to explore musical works with seriousness, passion, charm and just a little risk-taking. Our secret ingredients: love of our work, infectious enthusiasm, genuine excitement and ‘good stories’ that accompany our concept albums and film projects or, to put it another way
