Abstract
This paper is one part of an on-going, larger study of the secular solo cantata in eighteenth-century England.The study will comprise three parts: 1) the compilation of an annotated catalogue of cantatas and cantata-like works, 2) a stylistic study of selected composers, and 3) the preparation of selected examples from this repertoire for publication and, hopefully, recordings.IIn 1969, Malcolm Boyd wrote that the study of English cantatas "has so far been virtually ignored by English musical historians.It is a pity, since the cantata can tell us much about contemporary attitudes to the Italian style, and there are several works worthy of notice" (1969, 85).Boyd's observations are just, and it is strange that such an attractive body of musical repertoire has been so little explored.Certainly, misinformation such as Richard Jakoby's statement that "the cantata did not do particularly well inEngland" may have contributed to this neglect (1968, [iv]).Even Boyd, himself, may have dampened research interest in the field when he wrote that the period of English cantata composition after 1750 was a period of decline. 2 The next major study of English vocal music to include the genre of cantata came in j.R. Goodall's Ph.D.

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
