is it public domain

[Hans Moleman]

would Ave Maria by franz shubert be considered public domain?

 

[GenJerDan]

Yes.

But not any recording of it made after 1923.

 

[Cryogenic Filmworks]

Yes the composition is public domain, but if you are wanting to use the music you might want to just find royalty free. Here a a few links.
