Cécile vs Lingua Sacra

The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as specially suited to the Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in liturgical services. (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 116) With this app you'll learn how to sing gregorian chant even if you can't sing at all. You don't need to know any musical notation, just watch falling blocks and see in real time if you're singing in tune. Improve your pitch control, voice emission and range with a set of simple exercises. Train all melodies of the ordinary parts of the Mass as well as many hymns. Track your progress. Join the community to share experience and sing together. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
