What is the national anthem of Georgia, and what is it called?

Name, lyricist and the law.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

The national anthem of Georgia is called Tavisupleba (Freedom), and its text and music are set out in Annexes 4 and 5 of the Organic Law on State Symbols. The poem is by Davit Maghradze. The music, as fixed by the earlier 2004 law, is by Zakaria Paliashvili, adapted as the anthem by Ioseb Kechakmadze.

Why

  1. Article 4 of the Organic Law of Georgia on State Symbols (No. 3724-IS, 14 November 2018) establishes the anthem as a state symbol.
  2. The text of the anthem is in Annex 4 under the title Tavisupleba, and the music is in Annex 5.
  3. The earlier anthem law, adopted on 21 May 2004 (No. 72-IS), was repealed with effect from 16 December 2018.

Details

Article 4 of the Organic Law on State Symbols says that the text and music of the anthem are determined by Annexes 4 and 5. Annex 4 is titled Tavisupleba and credited as a poem by Davit Maghradze. In the current law the music appears in Annex 5 as a score without a caption, so the credit to Paliashvili and Kechakmadze comes from the 2004 law.

For the flag of the country read what the flag of Georgia looks like, and for the name of the country see why Georgia is called Georgia.

Tip

For the official text and score of the anthem, open Annexes 4 and 5 of the law (matsne.gov.ge).

What may differ

The law may be amended, and the attribution of the music here rests on the repealed 2004 law because the current one does not caption it.
