"Hora Unirii" [1] [2] ( transl. "Hora of the Union") is a poem by Vasile Alecsandri, published in 1856. The music of the song was composed by Alexandru Flechtenmacher . The song is sung and danced especially on January 24, the anniversary of the day in which the Romanian United Principalities were 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 poem Kënga e bashkimit ("The Song of Unit") of Aleksandër Stavre Drenova, published in 1912, is a clear adaptation of Alecsandri's "Hora Unirii". [7]
It was used by TVR for its station sign-off during the "energy saving program" between 1985 and 1989, when its schedule was severely limited to two hours per day.
