"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 [ro]. 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]
