"the single most significant creative figure in 20th-century Brazilian art music"

He wrote numerous works for orchestra, vocal and instrument ensemble, as well solo instruments.
Typical for his work is the incorporation of Brazilian folk music, but he also used style elements from impressionism, expressionism, baroque, and classicism.
