The cor anglais is a transposing instrument pitched in F. This means that the music sounds a fifth lower than written. This has the advantage that the cor anglais player uses fingering as if he were playing an oboe, but it will sound a fifth lower. The bell (the bit at the end of the instrument) is shaped like a pear.

This is how the oboe and the cor anglais differ. The oboe is a C woodwind with a base pitch tuned to C, while the cor anglais is an F woodwind with a base pitch tuned a perfect fifth lower, to F.

The Cor Anglais The Cor Anglais is another member of the double reed family, like the oboe and bassoon, and is sometimes referred to as the English Horn.

32 in (81 cm) long. The English horn was developed from the tenor oboe, which played in military bands and other music. Aerophone: an instrument that produces its sound by the vibration of a column of air. The English horn, or cor anglais, is unusually named since it is neither English nor a horn.

The cor anglais is a transposing instrument pitched in F, a perfect fifth lower than the oboe (a C instrument). This means that music for the cor anglais is written a perfect fifth higher than the instrument sounds.

Another theory suggests that the French term cor anglé (”angled horn”), which described the angled instrument, became cor anglais (”English horn”) over time. However, it is likely that the name English horn was in use before the angled form of the instrument appeared (in around 1790).

The cor anglais is a transposing instrument pitched in F, a perfect fifth lower than the oboe (a C instrument). This means that music for the cor anglais is written a perfect fifth higher than the instrument sounds.

The modern English Horn/Cor Anglais was developed in around 1720, probably in Silesia (at the time part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire), by adding a pear-shaped bell to the oboe da caccia.

The name first appeared in Vienna about 1760; “cor” refers to the curved or hornlike shape it then had, but the origin of “anglais” (“English”) remains a mystery. The curved form, which survived locally to 1900, was nearly identical to the 18th-century oboe da caccia and is now sometimes used for J.S.

The Cor Anglais The Cor Anglais is another member of the double reed family, like the oboe and bassoon, and is sometimes referred to as the English Horn. They are longer than an oboe and are most commonly used as a harmony instrument in ensembles, or as a special solo feature in some larger orchestral works.
