The Great Gate of Kiev is probably the best known movement from the Pictures At An Exhibition Suite, which in turn is probably the best known work by Modest Mussorgsky. This transcription is playable by brass bands of most standards.

Unlike other transcriptions of this work that have been written for brass band, this version is playable by nearly all bands, yet remains faithful to the piano original (not Ravel's orchestral arrangement).

As recorded by the University of Warwick Brass Band on their Highlights CD 2003-2004.
