  Abstract:  In 1906, George Enescu’s preoccupation with the wind instruments seemed to be at its maximum. One of the five pieces that he composed during the above mentioned year is the Jubilee Hymn for Choir, Military Orchestra and Harp, a vocal-symphonic creation destined for The Jubilee organized to celebrate the 40 years of King Carol the First’s reign. For almost a century, this Hymn has been ignored by the Romanian musicologists for fairly obvious reasons. After 1990, it was reported on by Constantin – Iulian – Dan Stihi – Boos in a paper given in 1991 on the occasion of the International Symposium of Musicology “George Enescu”. As the first musicological approach to a new discovered work by George Enescu, the present paper addresses the musical and political context in which The Hymn was composed, offering at the same time, a brief analysis of the piece.
