This remarkable arrangement is set in the style of a Dixieland Funeral, beginning with a warm and moving chorale which leads into a lively and exciting fast section during which the traditional melody is accompanied by newly composed counter-melodies. All instruments in the ensemble are featured making it as enjoyable for the performers as it is for the audience. It is suitable for myriad occasions both secular and sacred.

verybody loves "When the Saints Go Marching In" as an up-tempo, foot-tapping Dixieland march. But there are times when you want something slower and quieter to allude to the same classic tune. This is it. Use it as a prelude or communion meditation. Appropriate for All Saints Day, of course, or any saint's day. Excellent for funerals, as well.
Organists, use the pedals as you choose. Or even play it on the piano, since the hands can encompass all the notes.
