Cookie's right. Pipe organs were also popular. Most of the movies were sent out with "cue sheets" that would tell the musicians the kind of music to play -- and sound effects to make -- at various points in the film. K. Brownlow says Grieg, Schubert, and Karl Weber were popular. (They happened to write easy pieces.) Some of the big movies had an "original score" to go with them, and some of the big theaters had an orchestra on hand. There were people who went to the silents just for the music!
Last night I watched "The Iron Mask," Douglas Fairbanks's last silent film, and it had a very well-performed original score.

Old silent movies did not have songs. They had 'accompanyments' which was a real person playing a piano or a small group of 2 or 3 players playing in the 'pit' of the stage below the movie screen. Some theatres then switched to the phonograph to provide music but this didn't last long as movies with sound were becoming the norm.
