By Sharon Wilson. By African-American Spiritual and Traditional Spiritual. Arranged by Sharon Wilson. Children,Folk,Jazz,Sacred,Spiritual. Score. 16 pages. Sharon Wilson #3519273. Published by Sharon Wilson (A0.565178).

This arrangement of the traditional spiritual "When the Saints Go Marching In" is presented here as a mixed level duet for two pianos, four hands. The PIANO 1 is the easier part (early-intermediate) and the PIANO 2 is slightly more challenging, though still only at the intermediate level. Both PIANO parts carry the melody at times beginning with PIANO 1 for the verse. Quick-paced and bright, this dual piano duet is an ideal selection for a church setting.

The purchase price includes a 5-page score with combined PIANO 1 and PIANO 2 parts on each page (the grand staff) plus an alternate format with the PIANO 1 and PIANO 2 parts on separate pages (3 pages each). Duration is just under 1-1/2 minutes.

This arrangement is one of the 5 spirituals in the collection "Five Joyful Tunes for Two Pianos."

This song has numerous verses and varying lyrics, most of which reference the joy of "marching" into heaven at Jesus' second coming. Bible verses from which the lyrics were gleaned include the following:

 ". . .Yahweh's ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away." Isaiah 35:10 WEB

"For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 WEB

"Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city." Revelation 22:14 WEB

Lyrics for my favorite 3 verses:
O when the saints go marching in,
O when the saints go marching in,
O Lord I want to be in that number,
When the saints go marching in.

O when the trumpet sounds its call,
O when the trumpet sounds its call,
O Lord I want to be in that number,
When the trumpet sounds its call.

O when they crown him Lord of all,
O when they crown him Lord of all,
O Lord I want to be in that number
When they crown him Lord of all.
