Un oeuvre extrèmement impressionnant et important qui demande le maximum de l’orchestre et du chef d’orchestre. Le sous-titre de Fantastic Variations, 'hommage à Duarte Ferreira Pestana’, réfère à l’un des compositeurs les plus inspirés notamment pour les harmonies Portugaises. Il y a beaucoup de moments dans cette composition qui réfèrent très clairement à l’oeuvre de Duarte Ferreira, plus spécifiquement à son fameux ' Arco-Iris ' (Arc-en-ciel).
