'Farewell Patagonia' pays homage to the indomitable spirit of those pioneering Welsh men and women who, beginning a century and half ago, forged a new life for themselves in Chubut Province on the southern-most tip of Argentina.
Celebratory in tone, the piano sets the mood from the word go. The driving tango rhythm must be relentless throughout, apart from the brief middle section (bars 40 - 56) where a more lyrical approach is required. Even here, the strict Latin tempo should never waver.
Farewell Patagonia was recorded by Andy Findon and Geoff Eales on the album 'The Dancing Flute' (Nimbus Alliance NI 6216). Currently, there are two other versions of the piece: a tenor saxophone/piano arrangement performed by Matt London and Geoff Eales on Matt's album 'Speak Now' and a flute, horn and piano setting by the ELF Trio featuring Geoff, Dave Lee and Andy Findon.
