The prelude in c major is the first piece in the Well-tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach. The "Ave Maria" melody, plus one additional bar in the prelude, were superimposed by Charles Gounod c. 150 years later.

So, no, Bach did not compose Ave Maria, but one of his compositions was used by a later composer as harmony for Ave Maria.
