I don't know if it's much help, but one term that's often used is "art music".
I believe that ethnomusicologists use it to distinguish the "classical" musics
of non-Western traditions from their "folk" and "popular" musics.  I may have
also heard the phrase used by composers of "new music" (or "avant garde" or 
whatever they're calling it this week) to refer to their own work.

Of course, as far as I'm concerned it's all "art" anyway...
