An arrangement of the Kazak national anthem for brass quintet.

On January 6, 2006, Kazakhstan replaced the anthem in use since its time as a Soviet republic (having changed the lyrics upon 1992 independence) with “My Kazakhstan”, a patriotic song written in 1958. The president Nursultan Nazarbayev revised the lyrics somewhat, thereby making him a co-author of the anthem.

The National Anthem of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан Республикасының Мемлекеттік Әнұраны, Qazaqstan Respwblïkasınıñ memlekettik änuranı) was the title of the old national anthem of Kazakhstan, when it was adopted as the anthem from 1992 to early 2006. Upon independence in December 1991, the melody of the Kazakh SSR anthem, composed by Mukan Tulebayev, Yevgeny Brusilovsky and Latif Khamidi, was retained; and new lyrics were adopted in 1992, written by Muzafar Alimbayev, Kadyr Myrzaliyev, Tumanbai Moldagaliyev and Zhadyra Daribayeva.

On January 7, 2006, "My Kazakhstan" (Kazakh: Менің Қазақстаным, Meniñ Qazaqstanım), written in 1956, was adopted as the new anthem, with modified lyrics.
