The Eloquent Oboe is a history of the hautboy, the oboe of the Baroque period. It reflects recent interest in this instrument, which was the first of the woodwinds to join with strings in creating the new orchestra, and had by the end of the 20th century again become a regular presence on the concert scene. Between 1640 and 1760 this type of oboe underwent dramatic changes in both function and physical form, and the majority of its solo and chamber repertoire appeared. Haynes examines in detail the hautboy's structure, its players, makers, and composers, issues of performing style and period techniques, how and where the instrument was played, and who listened to it.
Bruce Haynes has been an oboist since 1955, and has devoted himself to the hautboy since the late 60s, primarily as a performer but also as a maker and researcher. He has played and lectured extensively and appears as soloist on many recordings. He is Professeur associé at the Université de Montréal.
