雙 簧管的前身－蕭姆管於巴洛克時期前已一直被用作演奏軍樂。直至十七後半世紀，法國人從改良蕭姆管發明了雙簧管，改進了的樂器性能及音色控制能力令雙簧管得 以進入藝術音樂之領域。在路易十四的皇宮內亦設有雙簧管樂團負責演奏宮廷舞曲、進行曲及歌曲。自此雙簧管樂團成為重要的室樂表演形式，甚至於巴洛克頂峰時 期， 無論在皇宮、軍隊以及政府部門均設有以雙簧管樂手組成的樂團，肩負起不同演出目的。

The Oboe was invented by the French in the second half of the 17th century and modified from its ancestor - the Shawm, which had long been used in military bands. The improved flexibility and sonority quickly brought the oboe into use in "Art" music. At the court of Louis IV, a band of oboes was hired to perform dance tunes, marches and airs. The Oboe band has then become an important form of chamber music. At the peak of the Baroque period, oboe ensembles flourished all over Europe and held important roles in court, military and city music.
