In 1930 he was the orator in the first performance of Morning Heroes by Arthur Bliss at the Norwich Festival. and he also narrated in performances of Honegger's Le roi David and Stravinsky's The Soldier's Tale. He was ordained as a priest in 1939. Maine wrote biography as well as music criticism. His early volume Behold these Daniels consists of 12 character sketches of critics (including the author) that originally appeared in Musical Times columns in 1926–7. The sketches include Ernest Newman, Edwin Evans, Robin Legge and H.C.Colles. The two-volume Elgar: his Life and Works, published a year before the subject's death, is his best-known work. Our Ambassador King is now a curiosity - a biography of King Edward VIII written before the abdication, with no mention of Mrs Simpson. The Best of Me, completed in 1937, is autobiographical and Twang with our Music (from 1957) is a collection of essays marking "the completion of 30 years' practice in the uncertain science of music criticism".
