Georgian National Anthem for String Orchestra

The National Anthem of Georgia arranged for Brass Quintet. There are alternative versions for Symphony & String Orchestra in my stores.

"Tavisupleba" (Georgian: თავისუფლება) is the current national anthem of Georgia. The anthem, whose title means "Freedom", was adopted in 2004, along with the new national flag and coat of arms. The symbols’ change was brought about upon the successful overthrow of the previous government in the bloodless Rose Revolution. The music, taken from the Georgian operas Abesalom da Eteri ("Abesalom and Eteri") and Daisi ("The Nightfall"), by the Georgian composer Zachary (Zakaria) Paliashvili (ზაქარია ფალიაშვილი, 1871–1933), was adapted to form the anthem by Ioseb Kechakmadze (იოსებ კეჭაყმაძე). The lyrics were composed by David Magradze (დავით მაღრაძე).

On April 23, 2004, a few months after a popular revolt replaced the government and altered the national symbols, a new national anthem was adopted. The music was taken from the Georgian operas “Abesalom da Eteri” and “Daisi” by the Georgian composer Zakaria Paliashvili, and were composed into an anthem by Joseb Ketschakmadse.
