BiographyBorn in Wellington in 1921,[1] Ritchie attended the University of Otago, graduating with a Diploma of Music in 1943 and a MusB the following year.[2] He also trained as a teacher at Dunedin Teachers' College.[1] Later, between 1956 and 1957, he undertook postgraduate study with Walter Piston at Harvard University.[1] He was the father of composer Anthony Ritchie.[3] During World War II he held the rank of sub-lieutenant in the Royal New Zealand Naval Volunteer Reserve and served with the Fleet Air Arm as a pilot.[4][5] Ritchie was appointed a junior lecturer in music at Canterbury University College (now the University of Canterbury) in 1946,[5] and rose to become head of department and professor in 1962.[1] He also served as dean of the Faculty of Music and Fine Arts,[6] and was deputy vice-chancellor of the university between 1977 and 1980.[5] He retired in 1985 and was granted the title professor emeritus.[5] A talented clarinetist, Ritchie was, in 1958, the eponymous founder and conductor of the John Ritchie String Orchestra, which developed into the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra.[6] As a composer his output included works for choir, instrumental ensemble, brass band and orchestra.[6] He was the director of music for the 1974 British Commonwealth Games in Christchurch and the 1986 visit of Pope John Paul II to New Zealand.[1] In 1981 Ritchie was elected an individual member of the International Music Council,[6] and in 1992 he was awarded the Composers Association of New Zealand Citation for service to New Zealand music.[1] He was an honorary life member of the International Society for Music Education,[6] and in 2000 he received an honorary MusD from the University of Canterbury.[7] Ritchie died in Christchurch in 2014 on his 93rd birthday.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web |url=http://sounz.org.nz/contributor/composer/1083 |title=John Ritchie |date= |website= |publisher=Centre for New Zealand Music Toi te Arapūoro |accessdate=5 October 2014}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Ritchie, John}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://shadowsoftime.co.nz/university20.html |title=NZ university graduates 1870–1961: Q–R |date= |website= |publisher= |accessdate=5 October 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.radionz.co.nz/concert/programmes/resound/20101207 |title=Resound: Anthony Ritchie |year=2013 |website= |publisher=Radio New Zealand Concert |first=Kenneth |last=Young |accessdate=5 October 2014}} 4. ^1 {{cite news | url=http://notices.nzherald.co.nz/obituaries/nzherald-nz/obituary.aspx?n=john-anthony-ritchie&pid=172616605&fhid=12635 | title=John Anthony Ritchie obituary | date=30 September 2014 | work=New Zealand Herald | accessdate=5 October 2014 }} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite news | title= City's 'father of music' dies | date=1 October 2014 | work=The Press | page=5 | first=Mike | last=Crean }} 6. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |url=http://www.isme.org/members/45-honorary/109-honorary-life-members |title=Honorary life members |date= |website= |publisher=International Society for Music Education |accessdate=5 October 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/theuni/council/Honorary%20Graduates/Annual_Recipient_List_2014.pdf |title=Honorary graduates |date= |website= |publisher=University of Canterbury |accessdate=5 October 2014}} 11 : 1921 births|2014 deaths|People from Wellington City|University of Otago alumni|New Zealand military personnel of World War II|University of Canterbury faculty|New Zealand composers|Male composers|New Zealand conductors (music)|Male conductors (music)|Clarinetists |
