Afgan National Anthem for Brass Quintet

An arrangement of the Afgan National Anthem.

After the end of Taliban rule in 2001, a new national anthem was created for the "New Afghanistan", which, according to the 20th article of the new Afghan constitution, was to contain the names of the various ethnic groups of Afghanistan, and the formula "Allāhu Akbar" ("God is the greatest") had to be included. After a competition, "Millī Surūd" was declared the official national anthem in May 2006.
