Downloadable sheet music and recordings. Radio for streaming public domain songs. Generally, copyright lasts for 70 years from the year the material was created. However, if the work was made public before 1 January 2019 or within 50 years of creation, the period of protection is 70 years from the date the material was made public. Generally, a sound recording made before 1955 is in the public domain. In trolling for public domain works, one of your objectives is to determine whether the copyright owner renewed, or forfeited, their copyright. Over time, the renewal term was extended by Congress from 28-years to 47-years, and with the passage of the CTEA, from 47-years to 67-years - bringing the maximum total to 95-years (i.e., 28 + 67 = 95).
The Logos CopyLeft pages
Not only is it ridiculous that there is copyright protected by royalties on music, since it is a form of revenue unrelated to labour, but even more ridiculous is it, that even after a copyrighted author dies, royalties have to be paid to people and institutions that do not even have the slightest bit of merit with regard to his/her artistic work. Originaly law stipulated a period of 50 years after the death of a composer/author as an extention of the copyright. However the French, after the second world war, have succeeded in extending this period in most countries to an insane 70 years.. Note that, as far as the USA are conscerned, copyright only extends up to 50 years after the death of the composer or author. We are unsure as to the status of American composers, 50 years death, in Europe. Logic would dictate them to have become public domain all over the world.
Some of the very many modern composers that are GNU, Public Domain or otherwize not copyrighted and whose music can be freely performed and reproduced, given credit: Godfried-Willem Raes, Charles Ives (1), Yvan Vander Sanden, Hans Roels, Hans G.Helms (+2012), Davide Mosconi(+), Kristof Lauwers, Thomas Smetryns, Moniek Darge, Sebastian Bradt, Joachim Brackx (except TV rights), Barbara Buchowiec, Xavier Verhelst, Francesca Verbauwhede, .. (help us out adding more names..)
This is a short list of composers who are or have become public domain in Europe, because they died 70 years or longer ago. Obviously we only mention composers that died after 1900. All composers that died earlier than 1949 are in the public domain anyway.

(1) Charles Ives refused to copyright his music, insisting that anyone be able to use it, and scared off publishers by demanding that they make free copies available upon request. However, some publishers after Ives died claimed the copyright on his music! http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=162314460. Thus one will find BMI claiming copyrights on Ives: http://www.charlesives.org : BMI www.bmi.com. http://members.ai5.net/indexer@ai5.net/cassettemythos/Plunderphonics.html : Footnote 01 Mercury SR90149. The question of user (as opposed to listener) accessibility to the recording is a bit complicated, and the answer varies from country to country. Recordings fixed before 1972 are not protected by federal copyright in the U.S., but in some cases are protected under common law and state anti-piracy statutes. Symphony #3 was published and copyrighted in 1947 by Arrow Music Press. That the copyright was assigned to the publisher instead of the composers was the result of Ives' disdain for copyright in relation to his own work, and his desire to have his music distributed as widely as possible. At first, he self-published and distributed volumes of his music free of charge. In the postscript of 114 Songs, he refers to the possessor as the 'gentle borrower.' Sometime following these offerings, Ives granted permission for the publication of his music in the periodical New Music with the condition that he pay all the costs.
