Windows Movie Maker does not support multi-layered video/audio editing.
But If you have a video with a sound attached to it, you can add the movie to project along with another music track.

So if have a video, the audio(narration) ,and the music track seperately, I could suggest a method
1) Open a new Movie Maker Project
2) Add your Videos to the timeline/storyboard
3) Add the audio recordings(narration clips) in the timeline
4) Make adjustments to video and sound track
5) Export the Video file

Now you got a video file with audio recordings(narration) together.

6) Open up a new a Movie maker project
7) Import the Exported Video
8) Add the music to the timeline
9) Adjust the volume control on the left side of the timeline to the pan the sound to audio or music
10) Export the video

Or

Do the mixing of the audio in an audio mixer like Audacity,Adobe Audition then export the editted music and then add it to the move

or

You could get a more convenient video editor like Ulead VideoStudio
