The Nation pays the following high compliment to a Harvard professor: "Prof. Paine has written a considerable number of works for the concert stage, among them an oratorio, a mass, two symphonies and a concert overture; but none of these, in our opinion, equal in originality of conception and scholarly treatment his music to Sophocles' tragedy, which to our taste is the most finished specimen of musical workmanship produced in this country. . . Prof. Paine's music is his own. It has individuality of style, and his themes impress themselves on the memory at once, and gain a beauty by repeated hearing."
