Though the serialism of the later symphonies is absent, there is a brilliance in the orchestration and a dark, eerie use of Spanish rhythms and folksongs which is also to be found in the official canon.
Their commitment and understanding of the score means that "Homenaje a Pedrell" emerges as a satisfying achievement in its own right rather than a piece of juvenilia of curiosity value only.

The operatic efforts of Felipe Pedrell, who died in 1922 having worked like a Spanish Glinka to create a national identity out of all the Oriental, Moorish, Basque, Arab and Turkish cultural invasions and the spicy Catalan Provençal minstrelsy, were rewarded only by relative obscurity.
He left a legacy that was quickly taken up by the next generation, Albeniz, Granados, Conrado del Campo who proved more able operatically, and de Falla.
None were much concerned with their benefactor; but Pedrell, who wanted to be a sort of Spanish Wagner, was not (as far as can be judged by the texts) a very strong composer.
