Abstract
The music cultivated by the Cluniacs in the Middle Ages has been practically obliterated since the Reformation. The Cluniacs were monks and nuns whose way of life was based on the Benedictine rule, from which they developed their own distinct customs. Like the Cistercians, whose daughter houses were spread across Europe, the ‘Cluniac Ecclesia’ as a whole was based on an administrative network of monasteries of many different levels of income and status, some closely supervised by the ‘mother house’, others maintaining only a distant relationship. Between the founding of Cluny in 909 and the end of the 12th century, well over one thousand monasteries were built by or absorbed into the Ecclesia, including sites in France, England, Scotland, Italy, Germany and Spain. Musicologists have neglected Cluny as a musical centre because of the almost complete destruction of its building and possessions, largely between the 16th and 18th centuries, during which period over 5,000 books were lost, including liturgical manuscripts and possibly other music-related sources. Little hard evidence survives of what sort of music the wealthy monks of Cluny sang, but Bryan Gillingham is keen to argue that a place that invested so lavishly in its architecture and in the visual arts would not have lacked ‘music of the greatest magnificence’ (p.100). It is an opinion with which readers may already be familiar from the author's previous publications, and the present book goes over some of the same ground in terms of its content and the sources consulted.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
