triumphal march
Conqueror's celebratory procession
A triumphal march is a piece of music composed to celebrate victory or great achievement, typically featuring a stately tempo and grand orchestration.
The term also describes a ceremonial procession honoring a victor, especially in ancient Rome where generals paraded through the city after military conquest.
Figuratively, any unstoppable advance can be called a triumphal march: the triumphal march of technology.
