He was born in Split, Yugoslavia, and acquired a music grounding from his grandfather, the composer Josip Hatze.[3] At the Zagreb Academy he graduated from the conducting class of Slavko Zlatić (1957) and from the composition class of Milko Kelemen (1958). In addition he attended classes in Siena, Paris and Darmstadt, given by Vito Frazzi, René Leibowitz, Olivier Messiaen, György Ligeti, Pierre Boulez and Henri Pousseur.[4]

Career

Radica taught at the

Zagreb Academy of music, lecturing in musical theory.[3][6]

As a composer, Radica's early style was essentially

synthesiser (1977) he aimed to reinstate melody.[7] Gligo comments that some of Radica's later works, with a focus on the relation between speech patterns and "motivic musical ideas", have a style reminiscent of Janáček and early Stravinsky.[3]

Radica's works included several ballet/dance scores, large-scale orchestral pieces, chamber and choral music and songs, and an opera, Prazor (The Dawn, 1991).[3][8][9]
