Duarte was born on October 2, 1919 in Sheffield, England. He considered himself 100% British - his father was Scottish and his mother was English - a fact that echoed throughout his music. Duarte's "English Suite" Op.31, a three movement work for the classical guitar, reflects the Renaissance of court lutenists such as John Dowland and John Johnson.
