The complete Gregorian chant, including many world-premiere recordings, synchronised with square-note scores, Latin texts, and translations into English, is now available in your pocket! Neumz is the largest recording project ever undertaken, more than 7000 hours of music of transcendental beauty for the soul sung by the community of Benedictine nuns of Notre-Dame de Fidélité de Jouques. Follow the free, fluid, rhythmic forms of Gregorian chant, akin to yogic breathing, to open deep emotional resonances. An inexhaustible supply of healing music that touches your heart and soul, to meditate, pray, relax to, and achieve true mindfulness. Enjoy hours of this ethereal, relaxing music FOR FREE, let it accompany your moments of meditation and lift your spirit towards paradise! “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.

    An amazing resource
    What a gift! …. Except that the autoscroll feature hides the neums that I’m supposed to be singing! I’m sure it’s complex to get things to line up on all the different screens, and I’m sure they’re working on a fix, but the app is frustrating to the point of being unusable for me on my iphone. I hope the makers are able to allocate more resources for the development of this incredible offering. Show more

    Devine office prayer book
    I LOVE this app and have been using it everyday. I am a person that loves the feel of a book in my hand. Is it possible to purchase the copy of Devine office that the sisters use? Their chants do not line up with any of my devine office copies and I know it’s because the sisters are using a devine office made for monastic use. The problem that I’m having is I want the exact copy the sister’s use so I can go along. I will pay any price and buy from any source. Thank you! Show more

    Amazing Treasure of the Faith
    This app is a huge gift to humanity! Whether you are learning to chant, wanting to incorporate it into a daily practice or stuck in a parish without chant this app gives you the opportunity to practice with beautiful recordings perfectly lined up with the liturgical year. Since it’s still a work in progress there are some features that will get better with time. It will be fantastic when the search function works well. It would also be great if at some point in addition to searching you could look through an index alphabetical by function (hymn, introit, communion etc). There is the occasional issue with a psalm verse being a different melodically than the recording (example psalm tone written but melismatic line sung) and rarely a screen showing the next chant and stays there until the correct chant is sung. No complaints at all though, so happy to have this amazing resource! It’s a must for all Catholics. Show more

    Svelte but looking forward to continued development
    I like this app and the concept is amazing. It’s very lovely to see the translations light up as the text is sung. I have a few quibbles that I hope get worked out in the course of time: 1-often the chant notation doesn’t sync up correctly. Often it only appears on screen after the text has been sung because it scrolls too slowly. If you’d like to sing along sometimes you’re plum out of luck. 2-the image of the chant scores appears to be a scrolling image file, rather than clean vector graphics (gabc code, for instance) which is annoying. 3-you can’t override auto scroll; since the speed isn’t correct this is frustrating. (And I wish there was an option to have the image flash rather than scroll; constant scrolling can be very taxing after a while. People with car sickness may struggle.) I imagine many of these things will be worked out eventually. Regardless, it’s a great resource as is and it’s an excellent way to peer in on the monastic life and get a sense of their prayer. It’s also a great way to absorb the lived rhythm and cadences of chant by people who do it every day. Show more

    Great source for the liturgy of the hours
    However, lately I can hear this music in the background which I find distracting from prayer, other than that beautiful experience, it’s like being at the abbey praying along with the nuns. Show more

    Glad I found this app
    So Beautiful! for a long time I was looking for something like this, gives me so much peace. Thank you

    Amazing
    I was looking forward to the release of this app since I first read about it in the New York Times. It is a unique and profound insight into the music, prayers, and traditions of a Catholic faith that has vanished from most of our lives. The work and dedication present here — the creators of the app and above all the devotion of the nuns who have let us into their faith and art — is transforming and beautiful. Show more
