“The recordings of clear unaccompanied voices are speckled with authentic sounds such as the creak of wooden benches, the occasional coughing or dropping of prayer books and bell chimes.” The Guardian


COMPLETE LATIN RITE
Neumz is the first complete recording and digital source of liturgical materials for the Roman Rite: the entire contents of the Psalter, Lectionary, Collectary, Antiphonary, Responsoriary, and Gradual are assembled into a ""Liber Digitalis"".
Neumz presents the liturgy with an easy to use, solar calendar.
The chants of the Divine Office and the Ordinary and Propers of the Mass are presented in their natural context.

HOW IT WORKS
Create or log in to your existing account.
Carry the entire Divine Office in your pocket!
Follow the square note score of each chant, synchronised to scroll with the music.
Follow the Latin texts with their English translation as it scrolls line by line to the music.
Soothing and calming, this music is seemingly suspended in an eternal oscillation, at once both reaffirming and cancelling the sensation of time, inducing a meditative state by simultaneously enhancing focus and relaxation.

GREGORIAN CHANT
Gregorian chant is the music of the Western Church, sung for over 1000 years without interruption. The Benedictine order adopted it as the music for its prayers and has cultivated it ever since.

The serene sounds of these ancient chants have proven to be a real source of calm for our users worldwide, regardless of beliefs. This medieval music is perfect for prayer, meditation, focus, relaxation, and calm.

THE SISTERS OF JOUQUES
The Abbey of Notre-Dame de Fidélité is a monastery of Benedictine nuns located in Jouques, near Aix-en-Provence, France. The growth of the community allowed them to found the monastery Notre-Dame de l’Écoute in Benin. As of 2020, the community in Jouques includes forty-five sisters, aged 26 to 85.

Ratings and reviews

No content. Appears to be abandonware. Presumably this should have chants - not sure if that is audio / video / notation or what as nothing is displayed, all items on the calendar are locked and remain so even once you create an account. Every item prompts you to then buy a subscription. So as far as I can tell, every part of the app description is false: it is none of Gregorian chant in the palm of your hand and none of the content, presuming there is any, is free. Abandonware?

I love the idea behind this app, but I have some feedback. Occasionally, the auto scroll function on the chant will cause the music to scroll past the to of my phone screen before the audio reaches the end of the line. Then the music is cut off and I can't follow along with the voices. Also, on Android, I can't dismiss the push notification, even after I killed the application. These are minor inconveniences, but would be nice if they were fixed. Otherwise, this is a great app.

I really like the idea and all the work put into this. My one issue is the audio skips for me a little and it throws me off. It seems to happen when it switches from one recording to the next. It'll start the second track, stop for a split second, and start over. Otherwise I would recommend it to folks. Very relaxing until the skip happens

What's new

"Musica est scientia bene movendi" (St Augustine De Musica I). "Music is the art of moving well." Just as Gregorian rhythm animates prayer, Neumz now offers Live Scores and Improved Synchronisation.
