I'm not sure at all, but...
.. I think that an arrangement of a public domain piece of music can 
be copyrighted just if it's a kind of 'original' elaboration by the 
musician; I mean something different, somehow.

As far as I use an arrangement which is very close to the original 
music, it should be fine, shouldn't?
