Reed trio

A reed trio, also known as a trio d’anches, is a mixed chamber ensemble consisting of three reed instruments: oboe, clarinet and bassoon. Either term can also refer to a musical composition for this ensemble. According to James Gillespie's seminal study of the genre, the reed trio ranks second only to the wind quintet among woodwind chamber ensembles in terms of popularity and quantity of original repertoire.[1] Like the wind quintet, the reed trio employs instruments of different timbres, although the blend of instrumental colors in the reed trio is often more homogenous than in the wind quintet.

History

The origins of the reed trio are more recent than the wind quintet: while the latter arose early in the nineteenth century, the first known composition for reed trio, a work by French composer Ange Flégier, was not written until 1897.[2] The reed trio genre became more firmly established in the late 1920s by bassoonist Fernand Oubradous, oboist Myrtile Morel and clarinetist Pierre Lefèbvre, who together comprised the Trio d’Anches de Paris.[3][4] Much of the original repertoire for the reed trio was written for Oubradous’ ensemble as well as the contemporaneous Trio d’Anches René Daraux. Multiple works were commissioned by Louise Hanson-Dyer, who favored the sound of the reed trio, and published by her company, Éditions de l'Oiseau-Lyre.[5] Many of these French reed trios were written by winners of the Prix de Rome.

Professional reed trios that have produced commercial recordings include the Saarland Radio Wind Trio, Trio Lézard, the Cavell Trio, Trio d’Anches de Cologne, Trio d’Anches Hamburg, Trois Bois, Trio d'Anches de Monte-Carlo and the Zagreb Wind Trio.
