Som komponist og dirigent banede Ebbe Hamerik en tydelig vej ind i 1900-tallets modernisme, der gjorde stort indtryk på samtiden. Med sine musikdramatiske værker søgte han energisk at forny den krævende genre, bl.a. med operaen Marie Grubbe og et musikdrama over Karen Blixens fortælling Drømmerne. Med sine ”cantus firmus”-symfonier udviklede han en række originale og anvendelige orkesterværker i tiden efter Carl Nielsen. Ebbe Hamerik var en modig og alvorlig kunstner, der turde gå sine egne veje. Han var en særegen personlighed, der satte ekstremt høje krav til sig selv. Som frygtløs idealist meldte han sig som frivillig soldat i Den Finske Vinterkrig 1939/40 i kampen mod Sovjetunionen. Som passioneret sejlsportsmand krydsede han flere gange tværs over Nordsøen til Skotland og tilbage igen, ene mand i sin sejlbåd. En grænsesøgende adfærd, der blev fatal og brat afbrød en virkelig original komponistkarriere.
