	Celebrating John Knowles Paine's legacy
		Paine wrote an anthem, Domine salvum fac, which was performed with choir and orchestra at the inaugurations of two Harvard presidents; composed the Mass in D; and also the overture and incidental music to Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannus.
		Paine’s works continue to be performed as part of the Memorial Church’s Sunday services, thanks to the efforts of his successor, Murray Forbes Somerville.
		In his role of University organist and choirmaster, Somerville has become interested in Paine and, particularly, in the fact that although he was instrumental to the creation of a music curriculum in the United States, hardly anyone has ever heard of him, and his works are rarely performed.
