Abstract
In this Colloquy, six scholars from various heritages and scholarly backgrounds take account of the past, present, and future status of scholarship about music and music making across parts of the British Empire. The starting point is a discussion of Jeffrey Richards’ foundational book, Imperialism and Music: Britain, 1876–1953, published almost twenty-five years ago. This text has been key to many scholars working on Britain and the music of Empire since then, but the scholarly territory or domain of British imperialism has changed dramatically in the last quarter of a century. In the Colloquy, six scholars reflect on some of the key attributes of Richards’ book by considering its strengths and limitations, as well as the ideas it can spark for us today.

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
