AN INTRODUCTION to the COR
ANGLAIS AND OBOE
by
Rachel Tolmie
Includes an extensive repertoire list and valuable
program notes
This book is a very impressive compendium of all that is oboe and cor
anglais; it should be on the book shelf of every oboist whether player or teacher.
Rachel Tolmie has assembled here a wealth of information from her own experience and
gleaned from other experts in the field. The book covers all aspects of playing the oboe
and cor anglais and advice is presented in a very straight forward and practical way thus
demystifying the subject and making the double reed accessible to all.

Welcome to the wonderful world of musical wind instruments! The cor anglais and oboe
belong to the class of wind instrument called the double reed. The bassoon and
contra-bassoon are the other members of the double-reed family.
The purpose of this book is to give you access to the cor anglais and oboe; how to play
them, what to play on them and the techniques that will help you play them well.
It is also a vital guide for the music lover as it will inform you as to the repertoire of
these instruments and will help promote your listening pleasure.
Very little is written about the cor anglais so this book seeks to promote it along with
the oboe, both often heard but rarely recognised.
