Broadway music and movie soundtracks.

musicals, You will need to include how music was added to silent movies,

Note: Not a lot of information has been compiled into one website
on this subject. You will probably need to find names of specific
movie music composers and Broadway composers and search for websites about
them. Suggestions: Find the names of the composers who won awards,
such as Grammy or Oscar and research them.
