Deep Blue is based on a folksong that describes the connection between the fishermen on the one hand, and the fish and lake on the other hand: man and nature in perfect harmony. The song Mir foan mit der Zilln übern See is often sung in the area of the Traunsee (also called "Lacus felix"). This enchanting lake, to which Fitz Neuböck pays a tribute, lies in the "deep blue" of the picturesque mountains of Salzkammergut (Upper Austria). The composer is very thankful to be able to live in such a beautiful area.
