When the Saints Go Marching In

Traditional

For trumpet and piano

Written in C major, range C4 to G4

On the last day the saints march into heaven, and the singer wants just one thing: to be among them. It began as a gospel song and became a New Orleans jazz standard; Louis Armstrong’s 1938 recording is one of its best-known versions.

Also as a duet for two tubas
