it would need to be theatrical type piano and possibly orchestra type music so you might try online as opposed to your local stores, but ya never know. Ask around the  shops, look  in that general direction.  But they did use orchestras and piano, bass, cello, oboe,violin, (all together now) that kinda thing. orchestral music isn't just modern symphonies...maybe try looking for movie titles online and see if it tells you what music they used?

Unfortunately - due to copyrights - even sheet music has people to pay royalties to - so there are probably zero sites available

your local music store often offers downlodable music online (the actual music, not the song) I dont know where you are from, but in Chicago I use Carl Jung Music to download pieces I want to play :)

There are a couple of options.  You can try to join the union, it is a great resource for companies that can help you submit music for various movies.  I work for a PR firm that reps a few people that have had their music placed in movies and TV shows. Its more of a "who you know" game. Because of the PR firms founders connections, we were able to get our clients on shows like 90201, Valentine and some Lucas film projects. When your connected, its still a little challenging to get the track picked, but the most important thing is getting someone of power to listen to it.  I had one project where we submitted a song for a movie with Denzel, the song was rejected, however when the music director was working on another project, he remembered the group and called us up for another track.  That track made it to the other project.   Start networking and be cautious of people who claim to be in charge of something. There are a "ton" of middle (wo)men who never get your music in the right hands. Make sure you are dealing with the decision makers in the industry or hire someone who has those connections to do the foot work for you.

You mean backing tracks? That would be a pretty exclusive market. You might be able to purchase MIDI files from GIA or CCLI (the license holders for most of the popular praise music from that era.) But you might be forced to have musicians perform some of the more obscure ones...\n\nSee http://www.ccli.com http://www.giamusic.com http://songsofpraise.org/
