«Lonely Fryshild» Op.6

Kjappland is a hidden realm located below all oceans of the world. This is where mermaids live. Everyone is pleased with their existence. Everyone but the young and graceful Fryshild.

Yuppik is the name of a husky dog that made a deep impression on Flint Juventino Beppe in 1991. His owner had trained Yuppik to produce wolf-like howls on command, and these sounds incited this composition. Beppe dedicated «Lonely Fryshild» Op.6 to Yuppik.
