"The cor anglais (UK: /\u02CCk\u0254\u02D0r \u02C8\u0252\u014B\u0261le\u026A/, US: /\u02CCk\u0254\u02D0r \u0251\u02D0\u014B\u02C8\u0261le\u026A/ or original French: [k\u0254\u0281 \u0251\u0303\u0261l\u025B]) or English horn in North America, is a double-reed woodwind instrument in the oboe family.The cor anglais is approximately one and a half times the length of an oboe and is consequently a transposing instrument pitched in F, a perfect fifth lower than the oboe (a C instrument). This means that music for the cor anglais is written a perfect fifth higher than the instrument actually sounds."@en . . .
