A few stupid little questions regarding the novella I'm working on. The first thing I've been wondering: if my characters happen to sing a few lines from a popular song, and the song's lyrics are quoted directly in the dialogue, is it sufficient to acknowledge the song's title and original author on the inside of the front cover? I know I've seen "Lyrics from 'BlahBlah' by So-and-So used with permission of Whatever Records" on these pages so I do suspect it's actually a requirement to communicate with the party who owns the rights to the song, but I wanted to make sure. And speaking of "songs," I know some media are considered public domain due to their antiquity. I have to ask specifically, does Carmina Burana fall under this heading? (The Latin text of it, not the musical score, of course.)
