First you'll hear a 10-cylinder, 750 horsepower Asiatech F1
  engine being warmed up. Then it performs a rousing version
  of "When The Saints Come Marching In", to the delight of
  assembled pit staff and journalists.

  Here's how the magic was achieved (technical/musical details
  via F1 Racing magazine):

  As we all know, a V10 engine produces five combustions per
  revolution at a frequency per second of 60/(5 x revs per
  minute), which equals 12/rpm. Therefore, to work out the
  revs you need to hit a particular musical note, you multiply
  the note's frequency by 12. To play a 440Hz 'A', for example,
  you need 5,280rpm.  For 'C', use 3,139rpm, for 'F' 4,191rpm,
  and so on.

  Asiatech's French technicians (the engine, despite its name,
  is derived from a Peugeot design) simply programmed their
  engine to run through the various rev/note ranges in the
  correct sequence. The result is delightful. And think of the
  possibilities - BMW's F1 engine, which howls all the way to
  19,050rpm, could rip through the entire Hendrix songbook.
