Ein äußerst eindrucksvolles, gewichtiges Werk, wobei das Äußerste vom Orchester und Dirigenten gefordert wird. Der Untertitel von 'Fantastic Variations' 'homage to Duarte Ferreira Pestana' verweist an einen der inspirierendensten Komponisten für hauptsächlich portugiesische Bands. Es gibt Momente im Werk mit deutlichen Verweisungen an das Werk von Duarte Ferreira. Spezifisch an sein berühmtestes Werk 'Arco-Iris' (Regenbogen).
