Biographical note

Duncan McKie was born in P’ing Yang Fu, northern China, in September 1904. His parents were missionaries and his infant years were spent in the rural areas of northern China, before attending boarding school at the China Inland Mission’s Boys School at Chefoo.

In 1917 the McKie family moved permanently to South Australia where Duncan and his two brothers attended Adelaide High School. After leaving school he attempted teaching before being advised to look for a clerical position. After further high school study, Duncan won a scholarship entitling him to free lectures in Commercial Studies at the University of Adelaide. Unfortunately he found this field uninspiring and left study to work in a clerical position with an Adelaide firm of trustees.

McKie discovered his love for classical music through listening to gramophone records and was determined to become a composer. Upon applying to study composition at the Elder Conservatorium, Dr Harold E. Davies advised him to first study piano with Dr Alex Burnard. Ultimately he enrolled in the Bachelor of Music course, Dr Davies arranging to deliver his lectures at midday so McKie could attend during his lunch break from work. McKie graduated with a degree of Mus. Bach in composition in 1938.

For the next 5-6 years McKie continued to work as a ledger clerk while devoting his after-hours to composing: his compositions for orchestral and chamber music, songs and a cycle for contralto voice and orchestra being performed at public concerts and on ABC radio.

In 1946 McKie was appointed to the staff of Unley High School in Adelaide - the first full-time music master appointed to a state school in South Australia – where he guided the students in opera, choir and orchestra training and performance. In the 1950s, he composed three operas for school productions. In 1963 McKie joined the staff of the new Westminster Boys’ School at Marion where he continued to promote ‘serious’ music.

After his retirement in 1969 he concentrated on working with The Capellian Singers which he founded in 1959, giving live and broadcast recitals of Tudor and other early music up to 1976, also composing a number of unaccompanied choral part-songs. During his music career he also served as Treasurer of the South Australian branch of the Guild of Australian composers and was on the Council of the Music teachers’ Association.

Duncan McKie died in Adelaide on 13 June 1982 at the age of 77.
