Schubert's famous Ave Maria! Jungfrau mild! (or Ellens Gesang III) was composed in April 1825, but the manuscript has been lost.

Schubert's Ave Maria was first published with English and German words.

The English words are taken from Sir Walter Scott's poem The Lady of the Lake, and were translated to German by Adam Storck.

The first edition of this song is dated April 5, 1826, by Matthias Artaria in Vienna (catalog number 814) as No. 6 of Opus 52 (Book 2), dedicated by Schubert to Sofie Gräfin Weissenwolff, née Komtesse Breuner.

This Opus 52 contains 7 works.

Schubert's Ave Maria was first performed on the 31st of January 1828 at the Musikverein in Vienna.

The original key for the song is B flat Major.

It was Schubert's brother Ferdinand who arranged this song for use in churches, with orchestral accompaniment, on December 31, 1842.

The manuscript of this arrangement lies in the Peters-Kirche in Vienna.
