| LONG-TIME SKILLED CRAFTSMAN - Edmund B. Barlow
of 89 Dalkeith Rd., who was retired after a lengthy career
in the telephone industry.
Barlow was foreman of the Stromberg-Carlson model shop
at the time of his retirement. His service in the field
of telephony dates back to the early days of telephone
pioneers more than 40 years ago. Most of his work has been
devoted to experimental and research aspects. His introduction
to telephone work began in 1904 in Elyria, Ohio, when he
joined the Garford Manufacturing Company. He came to Rochester
and became associated with Stromberg-Carlson in 1916.
Barlow, who is a member of the Telephone
Pioneers of America, has had a part in the growth of the
telephone to the vast system it is today. He confined himself
mostly advancements in the field during his work in the
experimental laboratory which later became the model shop.

We Congratulate Wayne B. Barlow
on his 39th Birthday Today
Wayne B. Barlow of 95 Elmcroft
Rd., won' t have much time to celebrate his 39th birthday
today. He will be hard at work on his first book, a college
text for music appreciation. It's title will be "Foundations
of Music."
Barlow walked into Eastman School of Music when he was
10 years old and took his first music lesson. He has studied
there ever since.
Following years of piano, violin and organ lessons, Barlow
received bachelor's and master's degrees in music from
Eastman School. Then followed a doctorate of philosophy
in composition, the first such degree to be awarded in
this country.
In addition to his work on his textbook, Barlow is kept
busy in his position as executive secretary of Eastman
School's graduate department. In addition to administration
work, he teaches graduate courses in music acoustics, composition,
and orchestration. Dr. Barlow also instructs in University
Extension School and is organist and director of music
of St. Thomas Episcopal Church.
In his spare time, he builds electronic equipment and
takes color photographs. His interest & skills in electronic
devices led him to develop and electronic tuner now being
used by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and several
high fidelity record players used by the Eastman School.
Barlow considers his major work the "Mass in G" performed
this year by the Eastman Senior Symphony under his direction. |
He said last night that a selection
he wrote in 1937, "The
Winters Passed," a rhapsody of Appalachian folk songs
for oboe and strings, was included on a recent television
drama. He explains he missed hearing the music himself, but
several of his friends called his attention to it.
Mr. Barlow and his wife, Helen, have two children, Robert,
11, and Joan, 8. Their son plays the concert harp, and their
daughter, the piano.
Mrs. Barlow is a graduate of Oberlin, and later received
a master's degree from the University of Southern California.

Wayne Barlow, a composer and a faculty member of the Eastman
School of Music for 50 years, died Dec. 17 after a long
illness. He was 84.
Mr. Barlow, in 1937, was the first person in the United
Stated to receive a doctoral degree in music composition.
He served as guest composer and lecturer at many colleges
and universities around the country. In 1968, he founded
the Eastman Electronic Music Studio which combined his
childhood fascination with electronics and his love of
music.
"He was a prolific composer who wrote very attractive
music," said Robert Freeman, the former Eastman director. |

Everything he did here, he did with ability, with integrity,
and with dedication."

Belgium, and Holland. His compositions ranged in form from
sacred music, works for full symphony orchestra and pieces
that included pre-recorded tape.
Freeman recalled a well know piece for oboe and strong
orchestra, entitled, "The Winter's Passed," which

Mr. Barlow's commissioned compositions also covered a
wide range. His commissions included works for the Indianapolis
Symphony, the Catholic Diocese of Rochester and one for
