The Military Brass Band of the Commandant Regiment of the Ministry of Defense of Tajikistan (known simply as the Military Band of the Ministry of Defense of Tajikistan), is the official regimental military band of the commandant regiment of the Ministry of Defence of Tajikistan. [2] Being subordinate to the Ministry of Defence, it is the seniormost military band in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Tajikistan.

Contents

The band performs a series of tasks that include providing entertainment in activities concerning the Tajik National Army, as well as in various state concerts and celebrations. It has performed during the quinquennial Independence Day and National Army Day parades in Dushanbe on September 9 and February 23 respectively since 1993, and has attended every military and state function at various locations, from the Kohi Millat to military tattoos in foreign countries. [3] A notable ensemble in the brass band is a regiment is a karnaists group. [2] [4] Standard marches by the band include March of the Tajik Army and Farewell of Slavianka, Vatan, and Askaram man, askaram. [5]

The Air Force, National Guard, and the Internal Troops also maintain military bands in the country. The bands of regional garrisons (the Band of the Dushanbe Garrison for example) also provide musical support to the armed forces and like the band, are part of the Commandant's Regiment.

Origins

Tajik military bands follow the Russian and Persian precedent for military bands while adding traditional Central Asian instruments such as the Karnay (specifically the Muiuz kernei). Although many military bands in Tajikistan were formed from former Soviet military bands based in the Tajik SSR, they have for the most part been relocated to neighboring countries and to Russia. An example of this is the Band of the 201st Motor Rifle Division, which was for many years prior to independence the main military band in the country. The present day band was founded by order of the Tajik Cabinet on 26 August 1994. The repertoire of the band consists of the national anthems of foreign countries as well as military music. The trumpets of Mirzo Mansurov are used in the band. [6]
