Any music is protected by copyright, but a composer may license work under more or less free licenses, such as Creative Commons.
The latter would be a keyword in your search...

(Jan 7 07, 01:33)there is a time limit that all music lives under however in the States it is bound by:
The Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act.
This law extends U.S. copyright from life of the author plus 50 years, to life of the author plus 70 years. For "works made for hire," the term is extended from 75 to 95 years. This law should end the discrimination against U.S. works abroad, where countries applied a copyright to U.S. works which resulted in American creators receiving less protection than their foreign counterparts.

seems as if classical music and some other forms are older enough so you can use them for whatever
