Abstract
The Winter 2009 issue of The Hymn treated readers to a lively and informative article by Twin Cities organist, music director, and composer Curt Oliver. His warm invitation to Minnesota, Northfield, and St. Olaf College was just a harbinger of the wonderful week The Hymn Society in the United States and Canada enjoyed when it gathered July 12-16 for its 2009 annual conference, under the theme Litde Child Shall Lead Them. We owe Curt deep gratitude for his work as local arrangements chair for a very successful event. A total of 350 registrants attended: 329 from 36 states and the District of Columbia, 19 from four provinces of Canada, and one registrant each from Brazil and the Philippines. Twenty-seven denominations were represented. As always, during the five days together, an abundance and variety of hymns were sung, with many friendships among hymn lovers begun or delightfully renewed. Even the Minnesota weather, often unpredictable in the summer months, provided days of beauty and evenings of calm, on the exceptionally lovely St. Olaf College campus. Given the amazing musical history of the grounds and buildings where festivals, plenaries, sectionals, and meal events were held, a better place for The Hymn Society to be together in conference could hardly be imagined. While more will be mentioned in the day-by-day report that follows, it is important to note that the St. Olaf conference was the last of those so ably planned and led by Executive Director Carl P. Daw, Jr., FHS. With his retirement date set for November 1, 2009, after thirteen years at the helm of the Society, the conferees shared with Carl many poignant moments, and more than a few hilarious ones as well. And it was a family affair, as May Daw once again devoted many hours to setting up and running the conference bookstore, along with their daughter, Elizabeth Geozos. One of the most exciting parts of any annual conference is welcoming and meeting each year's Lovelace Scholars. This year's eight gifted and energetic young scholars were: * Hillary Seraph Donaldson (Andrew and Wendy's daughter), in the Master of Sacred Music program at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University; * Meredith Abigail Doster, who is pursuing a Master of Arts degree at Appalachian State University; * Christopher Fenner, attending Southern Baptist Theological Seminary's Master of Arts in Worship program; * Joanne Kate Gallardo, pursuing a Master of Divinity degree at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary; * Brian James Hehn, a student in the Bachelor of Music Education program at Wingate University; * Peter David Hill, working on his PhD in Musicology at the University of California at Davis; * Sipkje Ina Pesnichak (Iteke Prins's granddaughter), pursuing a Master of Music degree at the University of Michigan; and * Chelsea Lea Stern, a Master of Sacred Music student at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University. During the conference, these students had the opportunity to gather for lunch with former scholarship recipients, fostering the joy of collegiality among past and present Lovelace scholars. Sunday, July 12 What I love most about the The Hymn Society is the opportunity to be with our contemporary hymnwriters and worship with clergy, organists, choir leaders, lovers of hymns - in recitals, hymn festivals and even the workshops. On opening day, I noticed Carl Daw, our Executive Director, quietly putting up our blue Hymn Society banner near the organ in St. Olaf College's beautiful Boe Memorial Chapel. Our gracious president, Mary Louise Bringle, welcomed the Hymn Society family to listen and hear that the Lord is good in the opening recital by Catherine Rodland, the Artist in Residence at St. Olaf College, on the magnificent Holtkamp pipe organ. Rodland began the programme with J.S. Bach's Trinitarian Fugue in E flat, which honours the three Divine Persons - the Majesty of the Father, the Humanity of the Son, and the Movement of the Spirit. …

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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
