The fourth of eight children of Joannis and Maria Anna Camerloher, he was the younger brother of the Munich court composer Joseph Anton Camerloher (1710-1743) and the elder brother of Johann Gregor Virgilius Camerloher (1720-1785), a cellist at the Munich court from 1747. Trained like his brother Joseph von Camerloher at the Ritterakademie in Ettal, he also attended the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich beginning in 1739. In 1749 he was appointed as Kapellmeister to Prince- Archbishop Johann Theodor in Freising, whose domains also included Liège in Belgium, where he spent several years beginning in 1753. Camerloher was ordained a priest in 1744 and served throughout his career as canon at several Benedictine monasteries in the Freising region. His music demonstrates the emerging galant style in Germany, especially with respect to his instrumental music. Camerloher’s unquestionably authentic sacred works include nine masses, which are large-scale works employing strings, clarino trumpets, timpani, chorus and soloists. The orchestral writing is primarily homophonic in texture, as in Camerloher’s later symphonies, while more traditional elements, such as counterpoint and an occasional fugue, are reserved for the chorus. His works include 25 Masses, a Requiem, two offertories, three litanies, seven antiphons, 19 school comedies, four Passions, 17 meditations, 37 symphonies, two partitas, and 18 lute trios.
