THEO RADIC

Born --- 1960's

Theo has submited the  musical piece called Achumawi,  orchestral variations on a  Native Californian theme.

A self-taught guitarist, I have played the guitar since I was ten, and classical guitar for forty years. I am from
San Bernardino, 60 miles east of Los Angeles, and grew up in southern California.

As a painter  who composes  I am very  much  guided  by the painter's  instinct for tone,  nuance,  balance and
harmony,  paralleling the identical concepts in music theory.  Going from the American folk  music tradition to
that of classical music involved the  challenge of learning how to  read and write musical notation,  which was
like Chinese for me in the beginning. However, the "inner necessity" of getting the music which was in me out
into the world made the learning process go quickly.

Although influenced  by decades of playing the music of the  master guitarist/composers,  I became more and
more drawn  to  non-guitarist  composers like Mahler,  Prokofiev,  Shostakovich  and Ravel plus  other modern
composers.

From compositions for solo guitar I proceeded to compositions combining guitar and other instruments in duos
a trio,  quartets and a quintet. Recently I have composed  a concerto for guitar and orchestra  which is planned
to be performed by Serbian guitarist Uros Dojcinovic who lives in Belgrade.

These orchestral variations  are based on my piece for  solo guitar Puberty Chant.  The original  notation for the
Achumawi melody appears  among the  "songs" gathered by  Jaime de Angulo in the 1920s  in his research into
the music of northern Native California. Other solo, ensemble and orchestral works can be heard on my website
below.
