Charles Tessier, Oeuvres completes/Complete Works: Chansons, Airs, Villanelles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The 93 Airs, Chansons and Villanelles, which represent the complete surviving works of Charles Tessier, are presented here for the first time in a critical but practical modern edition. The French, Italian, Spanish and "Turkish" songs for four or five voices, first published in Paris and London between 1595 and 1604, precede a unique autograph manuscript collection of airs for solo voice and lute, with an appendix of related music, including Parisian street-cries which the composer sent to an English gentleman in 1597. Some of the songs were admired and imitated by John Dowland, who met Tessier in Paris in 1580 and, like him, published his first book of Songes at London in 1597. The edition is the result of 30 years of study and meditation following the discovery of Tessier's autograph manuscript and letters in 1976 by the musicologist Frank Dobbins, Reader in musicology at London University, later Professor at Tours (Univ. F. Rabelais and Centre d'Etudes Superieures de la Renaissance) and currently Associate Professor at University of Montreal, author of Music in Renaissance Lyons (Oxford, 1991), many articles on Renaissance music, and editor of The Oxford Book of French Chansons (Oxford, 1987) and of music by G. Boni (1987), Janequin (1991), Monteverdi (2002) and Jacotin (2005).

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
