So it's adding to both the high and the low range of the woodwind family,
-
and a new instrument was introduced.
-
Actually, it had been around in certain quarters,
-
a new instrument called the English horn,
-
and I think we have that up there on our list of terms.
-
Is the English horn from England and is it a horn?
-
No.
-
It's actually from France and Germany and it's a woodwind instrument.
-
It's not a brass instrument at all.
-
It's kind of a low or tenor oboe.
-
So it's a kind of oboe in a tenor range but it has a
-
beautiful, rich quality to it, a somewhat nostalgic quality.
