Sarepta Music - A South African music distribution and production company now owned by Intergity's Hosanna! Music.
Sally DeFord Music - This site was recommended to me. Here is the recommendation I received: "This site belongs to a composer/arranger who is part of the Church of the Latter Day Saints, but the bulk of the material is appropriate for all Christians. This one is a bit more traditional in style, but the arrangements are top quality. There are fantastic solos, duets, cantatas, and choral anthems. Everything is free, within guidelines, even the background tracks."
