One reason for the liturgical problems with the Schubert "Ave" is that Schubert did not set the song to the prayer.

The original artsong is called "Ellen's Third Song: the Lady of the Lake" based on a German translation of an English poem by Sir Walter Scott" It was never written for the Mass (and was forbidden for quite a long time)and was solely written as an artsong.

That's very interesting -- and just proves Pius X knew what he was talking about in Tra le Sollecitudini when he warned about profane influences.
