ABOUT

Neumz

Neumz is the only complete recording of all Gregorian Chant in the world. More than 7000 hours in an App for iOS and Android.

The entire Gregorian chant repertory, recorded by the community of Benedictine nuns of the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Fidélité of Jouques, in French Provence.

 Each chant is synchronised with its square-note score, the Latin text, and its translation into the user’s language.

Neumz is the first and only complete recording and the first complete digital resource for liturgical materials. The contents of the Psalter, Lectionary, Collectary, Antiphonary, Responsoriary, and Gradual are assembled into a 21st-century multimedia “Liber Digitalis”.
