Spearhead № 16

From a musical perspective, the Seventies didn’t really begin until 1972, when the sudden appearance of pioneering art-rock adventurers Roxy Music saw them spearhead a new generation of bands making the first genuinely post-Sixties music.

The 19th-century reclamation of Bach’s music, spearhead by Mendelssohn and then Schumann, was later to be further developed most famously by Ferruccio Busoni. However, another key figure was composer and organist Joseph Rheinberger, whose arrangement for two pianos of the Goldberg Variations was made in the spring of 1883. Noting that the work had been ‘the object more of theoretical appreciation than musical performance’ Rheinberger sought to clarify its imitative polyphony and where he felt it necessary, added new parts of his own writing to the original score, to create a viable Bach-Rheinberger composition.

Sector Sarajevo is the untold story of Canada's deadly mission in a city under siege. In summer 1992, the Yugoslav city of Sarajevo descends into a living hell. Torn by civil war, it becomes a killing zone for three years, with thousands of its citizens killed. Canadian soldiers are sent in as the spearhead of a UN peacekeeping mission – but in Sarajevo, there’s no peace to keep. Outgunned, they manage to secure the airport and bring in aid to the starving city. But in a nightmare situation, they break the rules and use deadly force to confront warlords and kill snipers. When the Canadians return home, they keep quiet – and pay a personal price. This is the inside story of a small group of men doing their duty in the midst of madness. And for the first time, key players - from grunts to generals - tell their story in their own words.
