In this case, Google may not be your friend, but it is informative.
Many years ago, before retiring, I was a patent attorney who dabbled very little in copyrights.

The practical answer for how long anything stays under copyright seems to be forever. According to that article, if federal law doesn't protect the work, state law probably does.
The year the music was written doesn't matter. The year the recording was made is what is important, as the recording is what is copyrighted.
If you want to use music from a CD or the like, you probably have the copyright owners name on the CD or its jacket. It never hurts to ask for permission to use the recording; they might say 'yes'. After all, you are advertising their product.
