EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to the medieval era, where the enchanting melody of a duet between a hautbois and a rebec unfolds. The hautbois, an early form of woodwind instrument, is delicately held by one musician, while the other, an obliging friend, steadfastly supports the music for the bowed strings player. Dating back to the 13th century, this historical duet represents an essential moment in the development of Western music. The hautbois, also known as the shawm or the oboe, was a popular wind instrument during the Middle Ages. Its distinctive sound, produced by blowing air through a double reed, adds depth and richness to the duet. The rebec, a bowed string instrument, is depicted here with a long, curved body and a pegbox adorned with intricate carvings. Its resonant, melodic tones complement the woodwind instrument, creating a harmonious blend of sounds. The musicians' attire further emphasizes the medieval setting. They are dressed in flowing robes, with one wearing a pointed hat, a common fashion accessory during this time. The parchment music, carefully unfurled and held by the friend, serves as a testament to the importance of music in medieval society. This duet not only offers a glimpse into the musical practices of the medieval era but also highlights the camaraderie and collaboration between musicians. The image invites us to appreciate the historical significance of this early musical form and the enduring bond between friends and music.
