Oboe History

Origins of the oboe can be traced to late 13th century shawms. This family of double reed instruments was prominently featured in music of the Middle Ages (500-1430).

Frenchman Jean Hotterre is credited with inventing the oboe in 1660. The name "oboe" is actually a mispronunciation of hautbois, the original French word for a "high wood" shawm instrument. In the 19th century, instrument makers created an oboe fingering system modeled after the flute designed by Boehm. Today, most oboes are made with the Boehm system.

The oboe family includes the Oboe in C (the most common), Oboe d'Amore in A and the English Horn in F. In concert band and orchestra, the oboe plays solos and blends with other woodwind instruments. It is the highest pitched double reed instrument.

C. P .E. Bach, Beethoven, Mahler, R. Strauss and Vaughan Williams are important composers who have included the oboe in their writing. Famous oboe performers include Heinz Holliger and John DeLancie.
