    In the future you'll make it much easier for anyone considering answering your question to provide a link (or a precise description) of how to find what you're describing.

    Franz Schubert's 'Ave Maria' was originally titled "Ellens dritter Gesang" ("Ellens Gesang III", D. 839, Op. 52, No. 6, 1825), in English: "Ellen's Third Song" as part of his Op. 52, a setting of seven songs from Walter Scott's popular epic poem "The Lady of the Lake", loosely translated into German.
