"Marș triumfal" (Triumphant March), or "Marș triumfal și primirea steagului și a Măriei Sale Prințul Domnitor" (Triumphant March and Reception of the Flag and His Excellency Prince Ruler) by its long name, was the first anthem of Romania. It is a piece without lyrics composed by Eduard Hübsch . In 1861, a contest was organized to decide the national anthem of the country with a prize of 100 golden coins. Hübsch was the winner, and the march was officially adopted on 22 January 1862. [1] [2]
"Marș triumfal" is now used by the Romanian Army for ceremonies or high-ranking foreign persons, [1] [2] being known as "Marș de întâmpinare al Armatei României" (Welcoming March of the Romanian Army). [3]
