Not all of them: anything written 1923 or later would still be protected.

Popular World War I songs such as "Over There," "Yankee Doodle Dandy," "Give My Regards to Broadway," and "You're a Grand Old Flag" are in the public domain.

Only the very earliest works are in the public domain in the US:

  • 1915 piano solo "Tango"
  • 1917 piano solo "Rialto Ripples"
  • 1919 composition assignment "Lullaby" for string quartet, and songs "La La Lucille" and "Midnight Whirl"
  • 1921 musical "A Dangerous Maid"
  • 1922 one-act Opera "Blue Monday" and musicals "Our Nell" and "By and By"

Basically, if you've heard of it, it's still protected. "Rhapsody in Blue" will be the first well-known work to enter the public domain in the US, in 2020.
