Barlow (David) Archives

  • DB
  • Archive Collection
  • 1944 - 1975

This collection comprises a large number of the musical manuscripts of the twentieth-century British composer David Barlow (1927-1975), formerly a lecturer in the Department of Music at Newcastle University, although it is not a complete collection of his works. The material comprises over 100 items which cover the musical genres of orchestral, opera, choral, songs, solo works, instrumental and chamber music, although some of the scores are incomplete. Barlow's musical influences included biblical and literary interests and the collection includes his church operas David and Bathsheba and Judas Iscariot as well as his children's opera The Selfish Giant. The collection also contains copies of many of Barlow's important works which are held at the British Music Information Centre, as well as some early manuscripts (mainly short works and sketches) and copies of recordings of Barlow's music and interviews, held on ten reel-to-reel tapes at present.

Barlow, David, 1927-1975, British composer.

Barreiro Ferry Station - Portugal

Following the successful approval of the Barreiro masterplan commissioned in 1993, Terry Farrell & Partners/Ideias do Futoro were commissioned by Caminhos de Ferro Portugeses (CP) to design a new ferry station building.

The resulting design incorporated urban and waterfront faces, with the frontage facing the main square given a more ‘urban’ treatment, and interior spaces opening up to extensive views of the waterfront. The double span roof structure designed with Battle McCarthy optimised structural efficiency, reducing the weight of the steelwork, and allowed for appropriate foundations to be constructed in difficult ground conditions. A central line of columns defined the organisation of circulation movement and retail placement. A light and air slot was installed which was intended to maximise light and ventilation into the centre of the building, therefore reducing its potentially oppressive nature effected due to its 32 metre enclosure length.
