Imagine The Rite of Spring composed as a haka, and a challenge, to the peers and audiences of its composer, Igor Stravinsky. We continue our celebration of The Rite of Spring's centenary with New Zealand author and musicologist Robin Maconie who brings a uniquely New Zealand perspective on Stravinsky's most famous work.
