Description

This arrangement of English composer John Ireland’s tune LOVE UNKNOWN has been enhanced with an original melody and an optional oboe counter melody. The optional use of chimes, and a minor key in the second verse creates a solemn mood befitting the passion of Jesus. The final verse is triumphant, and features a soaring oboe descant. My Song Is Love Unknown is most suitable for Lent and Holy Week, but is used at various other times during the church year, and provides a perfect opportunity to showcase the oboe with your handbell ensemble.
