This suite is a origin from an small opera “Seehunde” Libretto and Idea by an american in Los Angels: Todd Bash. http://www.webspawner.com/users/toddbash/
and Libretto: http://maxpages.com/toddbash1 http://www.doollee.com/PlaywrightsB/bash-todd.html
Because of new world economic crash we must give up first performance of the opera. Thus I arranged as a suite, which consist of Prelude, Intermezzo and Finale/Coda. Between each movement I don´t want to give a small pause. I tieded each music as a absolute music for ca. 10 minutes, however one may listen as a an opera-suite.
I inform further about original opera too:
