"Hora Unirii"[1][2] ('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 24 January, 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 Unity') of Aleksandër Stavre Drenova, published in 1912, is a clear adaptation of Alecsandri's "Hora Unirii".[7]
