Every night, no matter how dark, is followed by a morning: This joyful message of nature is the musical and visual theme of the concept album early music bird. early new music.
After the multi-award-winning album favola in musica. early new music (including the Ö1 Pasticcio Prize), Maria Weiss and the 1607. ensemble with Luca Pianca (lute) and Wolfgang Mitterer (electronics, 2 commissioned works) take us into the enchanted world of a sunny morning on her second solo album.

Music for all senses.
Early ‚New‘ Music: Never heard by modern ears.
New ‚Early‘ Music: Contemporary works inspired by old masters.
Musically, the album is dedicated to seeking the old in the new and the new in the old. The year 1607 gives meaning and name to the ensemble and all its projects: The performance of Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo in 1607 in the Sala dei Fiumi at the Ducal Palace in Mantua went down in music history. Like a key unlocking a door, this work opened up new musical worlds. Here, the long-established prima pratica and the modern seconda pratica are brought to perfection. Tradition and revolution unite in one of history’s pivotal moments.
