The complete Gregorian chant, including many world-premiere recordings, synchronized with square-note scores, accompanied by the neumatic notations of St. Gall and Laon, Latin texts, and translations into English, is now available in your pocket! Neumz is the largest recording project ever undertaken, more than 9000 hours of music of transcendental beauty for the soul sung by the community of Benedictine nuns of Notre-Dame de Fidélité de Jouques and the Benedictine monks of Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux. Sacred chants soothe us, deepen our souls, unite us to God, lift our spirits, and bring us into a more intimate relationship with the Eternal Father. Let yourself be carried away by the flowing, vibrant, immensely expressive melodic movement of Gregorian chant: pray, meditate, and become aware of what is essential to our project; everyone in peace, united in sacred praise. Enjoy this universal chant to God, which can accompany you in your moments of prayer and meditation on the Word, thus elevating your spirit. Neumz accompanies you in this connection and intimacy with God. “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," now featuring both Novus and Vetus Ordo. 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, synchronized to scroll with the music. Follow the Latin texts with their English translation as they scroll line by line to the music. Soothing and calming, this music is seemingly suspended in an eternal oscillation, at once both reaffirming and canceling 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 and relaxation. THE ABBEYS 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 and L’Abbaye Notre-Dame de Miséricorde in Rosans. As of 2020, the community in Jouques includes forty-five sisters. The Abbey of Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux is also in French Provence. A community of over fifty monks chant the Tridentine Rite and cultivate the land to make wine, olive oil, lavender, and bread. The Vetus Ordo recordings were funded through Repertorium.eu, a Horizon Europe research and innovation grant.

One tap, and the whole score is bowed. MyScore marks down-bows (⊓) and up-bows (∨) on string parts for you. Upload a PDF or a photo and save the time you used to spend penciling in bowings note by note before rehearsal. ■ One tap for the whole score Upload a PDF part or photos of your music and tap Auto bowing once: down-bows and up-bows appear from the first page to the last. Several photos can be combined into one score, and if you have no part at hand, try the sample score built into the app. ■ An engine refined on tens of thousands of notes Refined on tens of thousands of notes from real orchestral parts, the engine weighs a set of playing rules and picks the most natural path among hundreds of billions of possible bow sequences on a single page. It takes downbeats, chords and pickup measures into account. ■ An advanced engine that reads note lengths and slurs It reads note lengths and slurs, carries the bow across bar lines and adds a slur where notes belong in one bow. ■ Auto bowing modes to suit the piece Orchestra: Standard bowings that orchestra sections commonly agree on. Adds slurs in slow pieces. Singing: Groups short notes under longer slurs for fewer bow changes. Best for slow, lyrical pieces. ■ From violin to double bass Bowings are distributed differently for violin, viola, cello and double bass parts, following each instrument's bow length and habits. ■ Group parts into a piece Group the violin, viola, cello and double bass parts of one piece and choose a reference part. Auto bowing for the other parts then follows the reference part's bowing and, where the rhythm differs from it, another part with the same rhythm. You can turn this off for each part. ■ It doesn't hide what it isn't sure of Measures it couldn't read well are never filled in by guesswork. They're marked "Check" instead. ■ Add bowings by hand (Premium) Fix a wrong bowing by hand, add marks where there are none, and join or break slurs. Bowings you fix by hand stay as they are even when bowings are redistributed. ■ Your own bowing style (Premium) For each score, change the size, shape, color and weight of the bowing marks to match its notes. ■ Export as PDF or images (Premium) Save or print your part with its bowings as PDF, JPG or PNG. ■ Turn pages with a Bluetooth page turner Turn pages with a Bluetooth page turner (foot pedal) without taking your hands off the instrument. A keyboard works too. If the bottom of the page is still off screen, it scrolls down one screen first. ■ Your score files never leave your device Reading the score and distributing bowings all happen on this device. ■ Bowings for your whole ensemble Create an ensemble and members see the bowings its admins save, on their own copy of the same edition. Score files are never exchanged, only the bowing marks. Editing and saving bowings is part of Premium. ■ Version history Every save adds a version, so you can go back to earlier bowings at any time. Please use scores you own, for your own practice and performance. Do not distribute scores without the rights holder's permission.
