About When the Saints Go Marching In

Few songs carry a room the way this one does, a brass band stepping out, voices rising, every foot finding the beat. "When the Saints Go Marching In" began as a quiet funeral hymn, a promise of reunion and glory on the other side, before New Orleans jazz gave it the jubilant, second-line strut the world came to love. In churches and on street corners alike, the song remains a declaration: the number has been called, the gates are open, and the procession is already underway.
