Classical Music vs. Anime Soundtrack song

[Man Nub]

Après un Rêve

by G. Fauré (1845-1924)

is apparently a song in the soundtrack Gunslinger Girl,

only, I don't think it's credited as such. What gives?

If it that old, they may not have needed to clear the rights.

How many Anime fans are gonna know classical music right off the bat.

Wait a sec.

Don't answer that.

hahaha. True enough...isn't the statute of limitations like 20 years after the composer is dead, or something...cause the Reeses Penut Butter cup Commercial has forever earned my hate for being sacrilegious to Gustav Holst and his Planets movment.

I am not actually sure of the SoL on classical music. I wanted to say it was like a century or whatnot, but don't quote me on that.
