Instrumentation note: on the score there's the following sentence: "Para sêr cantada patrioticamente com ou sem violão". It's not clear if the original instrumentation was voice and optional guitar, or voice, piano and optional guitar. However, there is no separate guitar line, so preesumably it plays the piano part. Tagged as "or piano" for now, but if a separate guitar part ever is found that would be played in addition to the piano part, this should be changed.
