2011 Conference Report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Breathtaking is a word easily applied to the setting of The Hymn Society's 2011 conference, Colorado Springs. From the beautiful urban campus of Colorado College, the majestic Pike's Peak and Cheyenne Mountain tower over the city. This environmentally conscious campus and city were an inspired choice for our theme, Touch the earth lighdy. For July 17-21, a total of 268 registrants attended: 248 from 39 states, 16 from Canada, and one each from Brazil, Taiwan, Liberia, and the UK. The rich landscape and heritage of the West, including the Native American peoples, were a backdrop to our week together in Colorado. Many people worked for months to provide a warm and gracious welcome to all conferees; as always, abundant thanks go to Deborah Carlton Loftis, our HSUSC executive director, and also to Sherry McCormick, administrative assistant at the HS offices in Richmond, Virginia. Other conference staff included Kelly Grooms and David Cashwell. Local arrangements in Colorado were led by Mark Alan Filbert, Thomas Strickland, and Joanne Reynolds. We also thank Mark Alan and Tom for organizing the Denver church and organ tour on Tuesday. The executive committee of The Hymn Society, with leadership from president John Thornburg, always plays a crucial role in our conference week hospitality and they worked tirelessly on everything from registration to driving golf carts, to introducing each sectional, festival, and plenary. In addition, many others attending the conference pitched in readily, providing a real spirit of can I do to help? A large part of the assistance came from our Lovelace Scholars. We were blessed with the presence of eleven scholars (our largest group ever) from across the United States: * Suzanne Byrd, MTS student, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University * Ying (Emma) Diao, PhD student in ethnomusicology, University of Maryland, College Park * Jonathan Jakob Hehn, DMus student in organ performance, Florida State University * Rebecca Dawn Hoeksema, MArts student, Calvin Theological Seminary * Allison Renee Hoffman, MDiv student in history of sacred music, Boston University School of Theology * Kit Ying Law, PhD student in liturgy and ethnomusicology, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary * Kyle Matthew Miller, MSM student in organ, Perkins School of Theology, SMU * Thomas Wesley (Wes) Moore, TV, MSM student in sacred music, Perkins School of Theology, SMU * Marybeth Sanders, MSM student, Perkins School of Theology, SMU * Audrey Seah, MA student in liturgy, Saint John's School of Theology-Seminary * Budi Taniwan, MSM student, Perkins School of Theology, SMU This year the Lovelace Scholars were more deeply involved in the conference than ever before. A number of them led sectionals, most participated in leadership for morning prayer, and all helped in providing musical backup (instrumental and vocal) at die Wednesday evening and Thursday morning hymn festivals. They also drove golf carts, hauled boxes of books, and generously helped whenever there was a need. What a joy to have them with us at Colorado College! Finally, my thanks to the members of The Hymn's Editorial Advisory Board, and editor-designate Robin Knowles Wallace, for their reports on our daily activities during the conference week. Because of their eyes and ears, we all have a record of the memorable and outstanding 2011 Hymn Society conference held under such beautiful and spacious skies. NANCY HALL Sunday, July 17 Unto the hills around do I lift up my longing eyes. Throughout the 2011 annual conference of The Hymn Society, like many Canadians I kept singing in my heart this paraphrase of Psalm 121 written in 1877 by John Douglas Campbell, the ninth duke of Argyll and governor general of Canada from 1878-1883. Every time we looked out the window or up to the sky, we understood why the executive committee had chosen Colorado Springs for our gathering with the theme Touch the earth lightly. …

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.
