About Precentor
Making church music planning simpler, one parish at a time.
What is Precentor?
Precentor is an AI-powered tool for planning church services, managing choir rotas, and selecting music — built specifically for the Church of England. It brings together the Common Worship lectionary, popular hymnals (including NEH and A&M), and intelligent music suggestions into a single, easy-to-use platform.
Who is it for?
Directors of Music — Plan hymns, anthems, and voluntaries for every service with AI suggestions tailored to the lectionary readings and liturgical season.
Choir Members — See upcoming services, submit availability, and view your rota in one place.
Clergy — Review service plans, track music selections, and generate print-ready service sheets.
Our values
- Privacy-first— your parish data stays private. We collect only what's needed to run the service.
- Parish-focused — built around real workflows of church music directors, not generic project management.
- Anglican tradition — the Common Worship calendar, collects, and readings are built in, not bolted on.
- Free for parishes — Precentor is free to use for individual Church of England parishes.
What hymnals are supported?
Precentor currently supports the New English Hymnal (NEH) and Ancient & Modern(A&M). Additional hymnals may be added in future based on parish demand.
