"Hora Unirii"[1][2](transl. "Hora of the Union") is a poem byVasile Alecsandri,published in 1856. The music of the song was composed byAlexandru Flechtenmacher.The song is sung and danced especially on January 24, the anniversary of the day in which the RomanianUnited Principalitieswere formally united in 1859.[3]It was, in fact, considered the "unofficial anthem" of the unification of the Romanian principalities and its supporters in 1859.[4][5][6]
The poemKënga e bashkimit( "The Song of Unity" ) ofAleksandër Stavre Drenova,published in 1912, is a clear adaptation of Alecsandri's "Hora Unirii".[7]
Usage[edit]
The song was used by the state broadcasterTVRfor its station sign-off during the "energy saving program" between 1985 and 1989, when its schedule was severely limited to two hours per day.
