Abstract
I.Where are you?The opening three-note motif evokes the words Where are you?This leads to a canonic dialogue for the two violins in their highest range, suggesting overlapping memories.A stark recurring funeral waltz fragment for the piano is now heard, which will recur throughout the piece as a haunting refrain, between the more sustained, longing, lyrical, desolate sections voiced by the quintet.The long coda, embedding both the opening gesture and the waltz in its texture, suggests a kind of groping towards a luminous realm, which seems more and more evanescent.This movement was composed as an elegy for my parents. Scherzo.Spiky, nervous, clashing pizzicati yield to a brief, impetuous burst of melody, enveloped in swirling glissandi.The movement continues to unfold in a flowing but inexorable playful, spirited and mirthful rhythmic momentum.This movement is dedicated with great affection and admiration to Blue Engine String Quartet. Twilight with birds.The twilight is permeated with fragments of birdsong accompanying the birds' soaring, swooping flight, woven into an increasingly blissful and peaceful nocturnal atmosphere.The woodpecker has the last word.This movement is dedicated to my late aunt Helen Quilliam, founding member of Kingston Field Naturalists.A bird sanctuary in Sydenham, Ontario bears her name. IV. PassacagliaThe Passacaglia is based on a mode from which the notes of the C sharp minor triad (C#, E, G#) are rigorously excluded until the very end.There are 18 variations on a theme, initially stated by the cello.The listener may recognize a shy nod (or wink) in the direction of Bach (in the theme), Rachmaninoff (variation 7) and Bizet (variation 15).The forbidden notes emerge surreptitiously from the frenetic final variation.This movement is dedicated to my muse, my beloved wife Jocelyne, who spurs me on to new explorations.The entire work can be taken as an expression of gratitude toward the dedicatees, and toward the world we live in.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
