What is the slot, is it spoken or sung, and where?
“Nie rzucim ziemi, skąd nasz ród,”
Rota, Maria Konopnicka (lyrics) and Feliks Nowowiejski (music) (1908 (lyrics), 1910 (music))

Four promises
A public domain poem or anthem is printed word for word. A protected song gets its first line, its meaning, its pace and a link to the text. Never a reprint.
Every line comes twice: the plain words, and the words with the stressed syllables in capitals and the pauses marked, so you know where to lean.
An anthem or a hymn tells you what the room does before the first line: stand, hands, hats, the silence after. The country's rule, not ours.
A sung piece carries its key, its tempo and where to breathe, with a reference note and a metronome on the page.
