Holst Planets
Oboe Family
Copyright (c) 2010 Robert Hinchliffe
The modern oboe is the result of many centuries of development; - indeed that development is still going on. The very earliest oboes date back at least five thousand years. Over the intervening years they have gone through many changes and developments.
It was in the 16th & 17th centuries when the oboe as we know it really began to develop. The baroque oboe was, at that time, often referred to as the "hautboys" from the French "haut bois" meaning high-wood. This became corrupted to Hoboy and from this the modern name of oboe evolved.
The early oboes first developed some simple mechanisms with just three keys added for the little fingers. This was developed further into, first, the seven-keyed and then the ten-keyed instrument of Guillaume Triebert in the early 19th century. The mechanism of the oboe continued to develop through the input of such makers as Boehm, Barret and others. Since that time the instruments have gradually acquired more and more keys with most players today using what is usually referred to as a full Gillet system.
In addition to the oboe itself, there are 3 larger instruments in the oboe family, the Oboe D'Amore, Cor Anglais and Bass Oboe. All are transposing instruments and have their origins in instruments of the 16th & 17th centuries.
The Oboe D'Amore (alto oboe in A) was widely used in the time of J.S. Bach and it is in the performance of his works that we usually encounter this member of the oboe family today.
The Cor Anglais or English Horn (tenor oboe in F) developed from an instrument called the Oboe di Caccia. The origin of the name English Horn is a bit of a puzzle as the instrument is neither English, nor is it a horn. We find this instrument especially in orchestral writing right through from Baroque times to the present day.
The Bass Oboe (in C, transposing an octave) is the lowest of the oboe family and is derived from an early double-reed instrument called the Heckelphone. The Bass Oboe is rarely used but does crop up in scores by Richard Strauss and in Holst's famous piece, "The Planets".
The oboe family is closely related to that of the bassoon which has a similar, but much larger, double reed. Both instruments also have a conical bore. The sound of oboes and bassoons playing together is a particularly satisfying one with the sounds blending so naturally.
The oboe sound is one of the most distinctive of all the orchestral instruments. It is a sound quality which is consistent throughout the whole of the oboe family of instruments although the lower instruments have a slightly more mellow sound than the oboe itself.

What is the name of the piece from Holst's The Planets that plays in the movie Elizabeth?
I have searched and searched with no luck and I don't have a copy of the movie. But it's so beautiful, I'd love to hear it. I can find it on YouTube if I know which piece it is.
vlado... um... why the hostility? it has nothing to do with me being lazy, I want to know the name of the piece. If you don't know the answer, kindly keep your nasty answers to yourself.
Looked up the Soundtrack listing, which didn't include any Holst .however Elgar's 'Nimrod' from the Enigma Variations is included, is this what you heard
