Text Appearing Before Image
The cor anglais came directly from the alto pommer of the Schalmey-Pommer family. Most probably the oboe di caccia, or hunting oboe, was its immediate ancestor. A very good reason for thinking this is the case is because in Rossinis Overture to William Tell the Ranz des vaches (calling the cows) was originally given to the oboe di caccia, which was still in use in Rossinis time; and when the oboe di caccia became obsolete, the part was taken by the newer cor anglais. The cor anglais and the oboe assumed their modern appearance about the same time. Both instruments were much changed in construction and mechanism during the last hundred years; but both instruments kept the old family voice, which has a curious harsh quality combined with plaintiveness. Beethoven wrote a Trio for two oboes and cor anglais, op. 29. The French composers made it popular. Meyerbeer has it play an obbligato to the aria Robert, toi que j'aime, in Robert le Diable; Berlioz made it important in his Symphonie Fantastique; and it appears in Dvoraks New World Symphony, having a melody in the Largo with accompaniment of strings con sordini. Strauss gives it prominence in Heldenleben. 1 See pages 83-84.

COR ANGLAIS, SYMPHONY SOCIETY OF NEW YORK Attilio Bianco THE WOODWIND FAMILY 91 Of its famous solos none is so haunting as the plaintive part in Act III of Tristan and Isolde. Here the long, sad melody heard on the Shepherds pipe is entrusted to the saddest voice in the orchestra,— the cor anglais.

Texte apparaissant avant l'image
Le cor anglais dérive directement du pommer alto de la famille des chalemies-pommers. Son ancêtre direct est probablement le oboe da caccia, ou hautbois de chasse. Nous avons de bonnes raison de le penser car dans l'ouverture de Guillaume Tell de Rossini, le Ranz des vaches (l'appel des vaches) était à l'origine exécuté au oboe da caccia, que l'on utilisait encore à l'époque de Rossini ; puis quand le oboe da caccia devint obsolète, la partie fut reprise par le cor anglais nouvellement arrivé. Le cor anglais et le hautbois sont apparus à la même époque dans leur forme moderne. Les deux instruments ont beaucoup évolué dans leur construction et leur mécanisme durant les cent dernières années ; mais ils ont tous deux conservé le timbre de leur famille d'origine, qui est un mélange curieux de dureté combinée à un caractère plaintif. Beethoven a écrit un Trio pour deux hautbois et cor anglais, op. 29. Les compositeurs français l'ont popularisé. Meyerbeer lui fait jouer un obbligato dans l'aria Robert, toi que j'aime, dans Robert le Diable ; Berlioz lui donne une place importante dans sa Symphonie Fantastique ; et il apparaît dans la Symphonie du Nouveau Monde de Dvorak, où il joue la mélodie dans le Largo accompagné des cordes con sordini. Strauss le met en avant dans Heldenleben.
Texte apparaissant après l'image
COR ANGLAIS, SYMPHONY SOCIETY OF NEW YORK Attilio Bianco LA FAMILLE DES VENTS De tous ces solos célèbres, aucun n'est aussi entêtant que la partie dolente de l'acte III de Tristan et Isolde. Ici, la longue et triste mélodie de la flûte du berger est confiée à la voix la plus triste de l'orchestre — le cor anglais.
