Afgan National Anthem for Brass Quintet

US$8.99

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,[2] 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.

After the Taliban takeover on 15 August 2021, it was replaced by "This Is the Home of the Brave". Due to the lack of international recognition of the Taliban government, the anthem is still used in sports setting such as the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup in October–November, along with the flag of the internationally recognized Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.[3] The Islamic Republic anthem and flag were also used in the 2022 CAFA U-19 Futsal Championship.
