Description
When the Saints Go Marching In, arranged by Richard Hayman, derives from the traditional American gospel song that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with early printed versions appearing by the 1920s and the melody gaining international fame through New Orleans jazz performances, most notably those of Louis Armstrong. Rooted in spiritual and revivalist traditions, the song became a staple of brass band processions and jazz funerals. Richard Hayman (1920-2014) -- renowned as an arranger, harmonica virtuoso, and principal pops conductor of the Boston Pops -- crafted his orchestral arrangement in the mid-20th century, transforming the familiar tune into a polished symphonic jazz-inflected showpiece. Hayman's arrangement remains a lively and audience-pleasing concert favorite. Instrumentation: 2+1(Picc).2+1(EH).2+1(BCl).2+1(CBsn): 4.4.3.1: Timp.Perc(4-5): Pno.Hp.Banj(or Gtr): Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set). Newly engraved edition.

More about this title

About the Arranger: Richard Hayman

Richard Hayman (1920, 2014) built his reputation as one of America's most versatile and prolific arrangers, working across classical, pops, and jazz idioms with equal facility. Beyond his arranging work, he was a virtuoso harmonica player and served as principal pops conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra, bringing a distinctly American sensibility to orchestral programming that prioritized both craftsmanship and immediate appeal.

Why we love this

Hayman's orchestration captures the swagger and energy of New Orleans jazz without sacrificing symphonic clarity, making this a piece that energizes both players and audiences. The arrangement showcases his skill at orchestrating for mixed ensemble, the interplay between brass, woodwinds, and strings feels naturally integrated rather than layered. It's substantial enough to demand serious musicianship from your orchestra but accessible enough to program confidently on any pops or gala concert.

What to expect

Hayman's arrangement captures the joy and swagger of a second-line parade translated to the concert stage. There's forward motion, bright color in the woodwinds and brass, and a rhythmic life that keeps the tempo bouncing without ever feeling rushed. The whole orchestra gleams.

Who it's for

Conductors leading orchestras of intermediate skill and above who want a showstopper with immediate appeal. This works equally well for community orchestras, youth ensembles stepping up to full orchestration, and professional groups seeking an accessible pops program opener.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the opening statement in the reeds and brass with deliberate phrasing; resist the urge to rush the familiar melody. Let the audience settle into recognition before building momentum.
  • Balance the percussion section carefully. With 4-5 percussionists, each part must sit in its own space; over-weight on timpani or cymbals will cloud the harmonic movement underneath.
  • Coordinate the optional banjo or guitar part with the rhythm section early. This choice affects the ensemble's swing feel and texture throughout, so decide it in rehearsal and stick with it.
  • Use the harp to anchor harmonic transitions between sections. Its shimmer underneath the brass will add the elegance that separates a good performance from one that truly sings.

How to use it

Open a pops concert with this. It sets an immediate, celebratory tone and loosens up an audience before moving into heavier fare. It also works as a finale if you want to send people home happy, or as a mid-program palate cleanser between contrasting works.

Skills your students will build

  • Balancing melody and accompaniment in a full orchestral texture
  • Coordinating rhythm section and percussion in a swing-inflected style
  • Reading complex divisi across string sections
  • Responding to clear, energetic conducting gestures
  • Executing rapid dynamic shifts across multiple instrument families
