Marș triumfal
First anthem of Romania
"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.
"Marș triumfal" is now used by the Romanian Army for ceremonies or high-ranking foreign persons, being known as "Marș de întâmpinare al Armatei României" (Welcoming March of the Romanian Army).
“Marș triumfal” enters the record as first anthem of Romania. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Marș, triumfal and First can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Marș triumfal” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Marș, triumfal and First provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10327103. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1861 and 1862.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
