Music of the Hermit

In one of the last scenes, the director puts a clip of "Bride of Frankenstein" in which the hermit was playing his violin while the monster was outside spying. Does anyone know the title of the music that is originally played in "Bride" and also the title of the music that the director superimposed on the clip?

Thanks.

Franz Waxman scored BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, but, not having seen it in a while, I think the violin part over that scene was by composer Carter Burwell as a transition out of the pool scene? No?

The hermit was playing Schubert's "Ave Maria"
