There are several existing orchestrations of the piece, which was originally written for solo piano. If you'd like to hear the original, there's a recording somewhere of Vladimir Horowitz playing it. The most popular arrangement is the one by Rimsky-Korsakov, which is the version most people associate the title with in their mind.

One of the greatest symphonic works ever...."Great Gate at Kiev" is a killer piece.
Best on-field rendition...1986 and 1987 Santa Clara Vanguard (both openers were not from PaaE, but the rest of the shows were, with some different charts. Both shows closed with "Great Gate"...87 being, to me, the better version.)
