As an arranger and composer, he had his works performed and recorded by orchestras and chamber ensembles in Europe and the Americas. His arrangements have been recorded by a variety of artists, culminating in a Grammy Award and twice the Açorianos Prize for best arranger. He has also written various prize-winning film scores and ballets; his ballet Quadressencias was released in DVD by the UCS Symphony Orchestra with the Caxias do Sul Dance Company. In 2017, he won the 4th International Songwriting Contest “Ibermúsicas”. His music is published in Germany by Verlag Neue Musik, Tre Fonane and Trekel.
