Hacienda, subtitled "The Society Tango", is lovely little piece with delightful mood changes. The front cover of the original sheet music shows elegantly clad tangoing pairs in a vast ballroom. Its form is AABCC with a 5-bar introduction whereby the AB- and C-strains are written in the major keys of F and D respectively. The drama laden 5-bar introduction leads into the achingly sad and dolorous A- and B-strains during which the 3rd tenor in this adaptation for recorder quintet has virtually nothing to do. The C-strains, the 2nd iteration of which being scored grandioso, contrast with its bright and cheerful melody. Definitely another of those pieces the performance of which is enhanced by the presence of a tangoing dancers - perhaps here even the 3rd tenor might be persuaded the get his or her feet moving!
Hacienda was published by Will Rossiter, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
A tempo of 80 crotchets/min. is suggested.
