WINDS DAYS CONCERT: BAROQUE DAY
DE L’ÉCURIE À LA CHAMBRE: THE BIRTH OF THE BAROQUE OBOE
From the 15th century, the oboe, just like cornetts, sackbuts and trumpets, was an outdoor instrument. It was played for major events and represented the power of princes and kings. With the birth of opera in France in the mid-17th century, the instrument underwent a number of transformations, which made it sound softer and more pastoral. And tha is how it became a part of an orchestra and thus part of the dance! From then on, it was only a matter of time before the charming oboe found its way into the intimacy of the bedroom…
