Mussorgsky - The Great Gate At Kiev - Pictures At An Exhibition 

Me too and it was one of my favorites-Hey Putin Russians are cool too.

shop99er I played this last year

I'm playing this now I play bass

Our school orchestra played this. Considering the oldest player was 13 I reckon we did a pretty good job. At the age of 63 I'm still in touch with some of those musicians. Its not a piece you forget in a hurry. I was a flautist in those days.

shop99er I'll play it in Milan on 8th April... wish me good luck!😄😄

Still awesome after all these years😊😊

Hope you've stopped crying bro

before him, King Harley Race

Actually, it was Harley Race when he was king and used that piece for his entrance. Later, it was Haku in 1988, then Hacksaw Jim Duggan in 1989, Macho Man Randy Savage (using his own theme), and finally Jerry Lawler in 1993.

It was looped strangely at one part, though. Having said that, it was done very well.

@@Rlotpir1972 you sure know your WWF history.

yeah, that's not a reason why this music is so powerful. Jerry the king of nothing is a fake and he's not even fun.

Check out Emerson Lake and Palmer's version. Greg Lake wrote lyrics for that version. It is so powerful and epic.

and check out the version from Isao Tomita. When I hear it, I get goosebumps and almost start crying because it's so sensitive.

Thank also Ravel for orchestating it

Can you tell the name of that song ?

Tno Devs 🍆🍆🍆

When does it play?(what country/event)

@Voracious Reader everyone knows it's an opinion mate

Yes, this is as perfect a piece of music as ever was written, and Ravel's orchestration is brilliant.

I played 2nd chair trombone with the Melbourne (FL) High School bands from '64-'67. This fabulous work still stirs my heart like it did then.

@@steveberry515 Yes and given the darkness that is coming for the city this composition has become more majestic and poignant .

А что было с Белградом, Багдадом, Газой, ты задавался вопросом, тупая русофобская тварь?

Hope you've stopped crying bro

Harley Race and Haku for me!!

The real succession of the WWF crown: •King. Harley. Race •King Kaku •Macho King •Hacksaw King Duggan ...that's it. No more king-wannabes

1% Michael Jackson history tour

That's awesome

fuck I wish I got to play pictures at an exhibition at my school when we played this song, I would've loved playing that trumpet solo.

Ah, another TNO fan 😌

They’re pushing their souls through their horns.

Everyone with ears and emotions can tell when the brass are spending their souls on their sound.

bcing75 you're right

Wow I never knew that

Yup

Exquisite....

The piano version is inordinately challenging.

It is not a song. Songs have words, this has none. It’s an orchestral piece.

"JR...I would agree with you but then we'd both be wrong!!". --Jerry Lawler

… and Ravel’s

Pretty sure it was Pomp and Circumstance and not The Great Gate of Kiev. Pomp and Circumstance is known as the graduation song.

@@greekmonkey9790 hahahahah There you go but it would have been interesting hahahaha

They had both pomp and circumstance and this at ours.

We did play pomp and circumstance on repeat while everyone grabbed their diplomas but we'd cap off the graduations with this song.

This song is much better than Pomp and Circumstance. Pomp and Circumstance is a stupid song.

Ты тоже неонацист, как украинские террористы???

Correct.

You are absolutely right! Reading other comments, I started to feel sick. I hate it when people mix politics with art. In addition, they are pathological ignoramuses.

Yes, every student taking music appreciation knows about Borodin and Hartman's painting. Afterwards a gate was built in Kiev in honor of Borodin's masterpiece.

@@moriahjacobs6131 You have mixed up, this music was written by Mussorgsky. The real name of this piece of music is "Bogatyr Gate". The Hartman Gate project was never implemented. There are no monuments or gates dedicated to Borodin or Mussorgsky in Kiev. Both composers lived in St. Petersburg and have never been to Kiev.

@@ОльгаГофман-о8у the Golden Gates was built after Mussourgsky' s death. There is also a graffiti door in the city that is called the great gate in commemoration. I was traveling to Ukraine this year, but that's on hold...

And you have the same name as another great Russian Composer!!!

@@grahamsmith4831 Hi Graham, "Are you related to the famous Czech composer, Bedrich Smetana" ? .....Many people have asked. Smetana is widely regarded as the father of Czech music. He composed "The Fatherland," "The Bartered Bride," and many other beautiful works. Our only similarity with him is our name. His name is pronounced phonetically: "SMEH-tuh-nah". We pronounce our name, phonetically, as: smeh-TAH-nuh." He was Czech, highly educated, lived in Prague, and was a Roman Catholic. My ancestors were Russian ("Rusnak"), poor, uneducated, & Russian Orthodox Christians (as am I). My ancestors lived in a rural region called Galicia in the Carpathian Mountains, an area which today is at the intersection of western Ukraine, the Slovak Republic, and southern Poland. My grandfathers' tools weren't pianos & manuscripts, but picks, shovels,& strong backs. They worked in the coal mines & rubber mills in the USA after migrating from "The Old Country" to America in the early 1900s seeking a better life.

@@garysmetana7040 Hi Gary!! Thanks a lot for getting back to me - appreciated. Wow! That is SO interesting (your family background and history). I have long had a fondness for (most) things Russian (except vodka!!! lol!!!). And especially the composers. Never mind the name - we are ALL related through beautiful music eh! Enjoy!! God Bless!

if and when they win against Russia, they should blare this in triumph

@@drizzlysquid1732 it could happen.

So. What's up? ​@@spmoran4703

hope you've stopped crying bro

They will be.

@@spmoran4703 and they are

@@dougr.2398 Of course.

Kiev. Fuck 'em, they now reap what they have sown.

You're very welcome.. helping just one person makes it all worth it.

I have this on CD but to lazy to get if and play it. More fun searching for great music!

Ravel conposed this twenty after Borodin died. The composer sadly never got to hear this rendition of his piano masterpiece. I like both!

Duuuuude. Animusic was such a weird, random, abstract selection of different works put into animations. It was a big part of my childhood. This was my dads favorite because he was a trumpet player, and I can totally see it now. I can’t quite explain how I feel about animusic but it was definitely good.

Finally someone who knew this was from a Micheal Jackson song

xRAFAEL JOKERx OMG I’m surprised that Nani Kore is known by people overseas 4:32

NAAAAAANNNNNIIIIIIII KOOOOORRRREEEEE

oh god that is in fact nani kore..... gosh darn it.... this piece is ruined in my mind forever now

ironically this song was written by a Russian dude who served in the Imperial Russian Guard xDDD

This is written to praise the Russian Empire
