Emerson, Lake & Palmer set The Great Gate of Kiev to the words "Come forth from love's spire, born in life's fire [etc.]." Bah. Prog-rock at its most over-the-top.
The phrase "Pictures at an Exhibition" fits the main melody of that movement just fine.
In any case the EL&P recording demonstrably lasts at least seven minutes longer than it should.
