I went to Disney world as a kid and this was played during some fireworks. I immediately ask my dad when Harley Race is coming out. RIP to an all time legend
Most of 'Pictures at an Exhibition' I like in the original piano version, but this finale 'The Great Gate of Kiev' demands the grandeur of a whole orchestra, and bells and choir as here. This is the best I have ever heard. Thank you to everyone involved in making this performance.
This melody is as exquisite and almost the same experience as hearing O How A Rose Eer Bloometh! I first heard this melody on a February Saturday evening in 1966 performed by Leonard Bernsteins orchestra. This was about 24 hours before I saw Dr. Michael DeBakey on 20th Century. It was all a unified experience! It was purely divine!
Russia paid for our freedom with 20M lives. Many Ukrainians sided with Hitler and fought on his behalf. [ *Ukrainian Auxiliary Police:* The 109th, 114th, 115th, 116th, 117th, 118th, 201st Ukrainian Schutzmannschaft-battalions participated in anti-partisan operations in Ukraine and Belarus. In February and March 1943, the 50th Ukrainian Schutzmannschaft Battalion participated in the large anti-guerrilla action «Operation Winterzauber» (Winter magic) in Belarus, cooperating with several Latvian and the 2nd Lithuanian battalion. Schuma-battalions burned down villages suspected of supporting Soviet partisans.[30] On March 22, 1943, all inhabitants of the village of Khatyn in Belarus were burnt alive by the Nazis in what became known as the Khatyn massacre, with participation of the 118th Schutzmannschaft battalion.] Etc etc. Ukraine contributed more than any other country to the Clinton Foundation. Fancy that. And Biden, Pelosi, Kerry and Schumer each have children on the boards of top Ukrainian energy companies. Fancy that.
Yes, Kiev is like mother Russia, but the real Mother Russia (in person) Putin arrested her few days back in St.Petersburg! ☝️ Putin comes etymolocally from "shackles"! He took Russia, the Ukraine and the whole free world as hostages!
Thank you so much for sharing. I listened to this particular version on the "Music for You" album so many times that it has become the ultimate arrangement for me. Hadn't heard this in more than 33 years. Brilliant.
I am not religious at all but I know that from the side of those believe and trust in God, a prayer is the most honest and precious, what's more, a peaceful act, that comes from the very depth of their soul. So, let me say a giant and honest thank you for that.
Empires of disparate peoples hammered together by blood and iron are a thing of the past. The little man has written his own epitaph. Long live an independent and proud Ukraine.
This interpretation is a great honor for Modest Mussorgsky and the Russian soul. A wonderous and deeply spiritual music that opens heart and consiousness.
@@bizmasterTheSlav The fact that Mussorgsky is a Russian composer who is writing a piece of music for the Russian empire, and one of those cities was Kiev
@@Falconalexx Kiev was occupied by russians, it's not related to them in any way. Imagine if german composer made a symphony about occupied polish lands. That's just the same level.
@@bizmasterTheSlavFirst of all, polish lands in the west part where historically a part of Germany, only after ww2 the territories where given to Poland, second, Russian history is related with Kiev. Kiev was a capital of Kievan Rus which was old Russia.
I am more of a rap and electro person but hearing musical scores as moving as this really makes you appreciate how wide spread music actually is and how it can create an image in others minds that a war is going on near the gates or a warrior feared by many has a quest to reach the gates getting so close but meeting an unfortunate end. Thank you for helping me with my music project also!
+Luke Wallis The fact you can appreciate something so far removed from rap and electro is rather impressive, those that don't confine themselves to one genre get to enjoy the many varities of life.
I like the imagery you've described. However, when I hear this piece, I see someone stepping foot into a fruitful city after a tiring journey, or at least that's what the tune portrays to me.
This is a Russian composer, when he wrote this there was no such nation Ukraine, and Kyiv was a Russian city throughout history, if Mussorgsky knew what Lenin and the Bolsheviks would do and where it would lead, he would add the word Russian Kyiv to the title
When I first got a walkman, my first ever cassette tape was the 2nd volume of "250 Years of Great Music" I believe it was called. Bunch of great songs, really wish I didn't lose it. This was the second to last song, and this stood out the most. This brings back so many memories (P.S., Gamley's version is the best 👌)
I first heard it in February 1966 conducted by leonard Bernstein, the evening before I was to see Dr. Michael E. Debate on Walter Cronkites program and the two experiences became forever one! Even reminds me of O, How A Rose Eer Bloometh!
This song written almost 200 years ago represents the pride and courage of the Ukrainian people then and now. It can be heard in the bold notes of its orchestration as well as the strength of its voices . Let us all hope the Gate and the country remain standing and the evil horde is driven out. The West needs to stand strong with Ukraine.
@@michaelwalter3399 Are you against EU? EU was born after two terrible wars and millions of deads. EU is peace thruoght 77 years in Europe. Cancel culture is just an american stuff. Not european. It cannot be. We have 27 official languages, we are a political and pacific union of 27 sovereign states. This is EU.
I first knew this song with Emerson, Lake and Palmer that opened my mind to know the work of the great Mussorgsky. Wish the best for Ukrainian People and the worst for Putin.
Whatever you may think of Putin's politics, he is a real man with real balls. That sort of thing scares the Huggies off the woke globalist bed wetters at the (Zionis$$t controlled) EU, and I say, "Let's go, Vladimir!"
I first hear this piece as our graduation march from Junior High School 49K aka William J. Gaynor Junior High School, which was located in Williamsburg Brookklyn New York our graduation was held at the old Eastern District High School on Division Avenue in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Ms. Thompson the Music Director said she got tired of Pomp and Circumstance and she pulled of this lovely switch. I later conducted my High School Orchestra at my graduation and we played this piece. I still love the chimes.
I sometimes whistle this randomly... Been nearly 20 years since I played this song and it was one the songs we spent the longest time learning in school. I played the Clarinet.
In celebration of the bravery by the Ukrainian people, please listen and Share this marvelous rendition of the GATE OF KIEV by composer Modést Petrovich Mussorgsky (21 Mar 1839 - 28 Mar 1881) with chorus and drawing of the gate in the capitol of Ukraine. (Less than 7-minutes) The Great Gate of Kiev was inspired by a sketch that Viktor Hartmann made of a huge, monumental gate that he designed to commemorate the fact that the Beloved Tzar liberator, Alexander II, who freed all the serfs, had survived an early attempted assassination.
The Great Gate of Kiev is a true masterpiece in scale and scope- trumpets blaring, I picture the arrival of a great warrior looking to gain entry past the Gate and battling mightily to vanquish the hordes of soldiers sent to defeat him, but alas, the Gate proves too much and he dies, sword in hand, clutching at the Great Gate of Kiev, blood oozing from a thousand wounds, he breathes his last.
+Rafael Cruz No, This is the music of homecoming. After the longest journey and the mightiest struggles, I return home. Back home to the motherland and the one true religion, At least in my dreams,
+Nick Wyatt it could be seen that way too. Ultimately, it is about triumph, whether it be man or nature. What I pictured was of man fighting the odds, and, at the moment of truth one prevails. It could easily go the other way. The warrior, or man triumphant. Even in defeat, man wins because despite overwhelming odds he reaches the gates, only to succumb to its greatness. It is an operatic ending of epic proportions, that denotes the grandeur of this masterpiece. It never fails to move me in ways that words cannot express fully. It is a testament to the majesty of this piece that moves so many in so many different ways. As it should be.
+Rafael Cruz Your comments are fantastic! I am now precisely writing a play about a hero who, with his sword, material embodiment of his holy fire of spirit, scatters the enemy hosts and gives us a chance to atone for the errors committed by others in our name and gives us a second chance to build our earthly paradise. This music, and your comments, have precipitated me into a vortex of heated inspiration!
+d'Venour To die at the gates of Hell is to be celebrated, to die at the door of your own home, is to be lamented, to take the sword is the acceptance of being a sacrifice, for a higher cause, but to die knowing they almost had a drink of water....
One of the first and most favorite compositions I learned in orchestra decades ago. One day, I shall visit Kiev and pay tribute to this masterpiece; me, my sax, and I.
This was the 2nd part of our marching band show last year. It was a bunch of finale pieces, including new world symphony and firebird suite, and sounded absolutely amazing
Nice tune. Also known to radio enthusiasts (like me) as the interval signal of the Voice of Russia and Radio Ukraine International channels on shortwave which both broadcast in English. VoR use part of an orchestral version while RUI play part of it on bells.

@Theodore Kaczynski Dude, literally ALL countries were made by elites. The founding fathers? They were some of the richest and most influential men in American society. They WERE the intellectuals and they WERE the elites. The people just went along with their plan. A country "being made by elites" doesnt automatically make it invalid. What IS invalid is violating international sovereignty.

@@michaelwalter3399 I just researched....The original gate did exist a long time ago, but was partially destroyed by war and fell into disrepair. It was totally rebuilt as part of the 1,500th anniversary of Keiv in 1982. The modern form is based on historic images & descriptions of the original.

happy for you !!!
It’s a piece that is larger than life, and this arrangement is the best.
Thirty-two foot sub(baß)woofers under the chorus. They'll find some object in the room to resonate with and rattle. Usually your spine.
I remembered this song from High School. Thinking of the people of Ukraine and praying for their victory against this invasion.
You know how sometimes you already know something is good, but when you listen to it you don’t realize HOW good it is?
This is one of those times
I was blessed to play this several times, most notably with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra...
This is the best orchestration I have ever heard - addition of chorus and a strong organ part was just genius,
Aminj! Aminj! Aminj!
This is the only rendition I have ever heard with a chorus, and it is Divine!

I wonder how many of us played this in school, and in recent days have been concerned about "The Great Gate of Kiev".
Don't be too concerned. It was never actually built.
@@michaelwalter3399 I just researched....The original gate did exist a long time ago, but was partially destroyed by war and fell into disrepair. It was totally rebuilt as part of the 1,500th anniversary of Keiv in 1982. The modern form is based on historic images & descriptions of the original.
This was the senior's last song on graduation night 1976.
Magnífico, la majestad de la composición es sublime. Gracias
Michael Jackson history world tour put this in my life.
Keith Emerson and Rachel Flowers put it in mine
I want to end my last life while listening to this masterpiece of Mussorgsky and Ravel under the cherry blossoms in full bloom at the shining night of the fullmoon . 🍎

Which national are you watching this video ？
London, UK, but born in Italy
The Serbian Empire
Ravel? He had nothing to do with this.
Our daughter-in-law walked down the aisle to this and it was magnificent. We will always remember it.
I, truthfully, was thinking the same thing, regarding the music.
And his opponent, from Memphis, Tennessee, weighing two hundred fifty pounds, Jerry "The King" Lawler!

Not sure why you made that comment. If Jerry's intro is bringing more people to this masterpiece, then i'm happy.
