Placidus [Cajetanus Laurentius] von Camerloher [Camerlochner, Cammerlocher] (Murnau, 9 Aug 1718 - Freising, 21 July 1782)

German composer. The fourth of eight children of Joannis and Maria Anna Camerloher, he was the younger brother of the Munich court composer Joseph Anton Camerloher and the elder brother of Johann Gregor Virgilius Camerloher (Murnau, bap. 17 Nov 1720 - 18 Oct 1785), a cellist at the Munich court from 1747. After schooling in Murnau, he attended the Ritterakademie in Ettal (1730–39). He studied theology at the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich from 1739 to 1741 while also participating as a singer in Fastenmeditation performances for the Congregatio Latina BV Mariae; he later composed 17 Fastenmeditationen for the congregation (1748–73). In 1745 Johann Theodor, electoral bishop (later cardinal) of Freising, Regensburg and Liège, appointed Camerloher Kapellmeister to the Freising court; Camerloher was also his director of chamber music in Liège (1753–9). Through his patron’s influence, Camerloher received the necessary diploma of nobility to serve as prebendery and canon at the monasteries of St Veit (1748–53) and St Andreas (1753–82) in Freising, and he dedicated his symphonies op.1 to him. Johann Theodor’s death in 1763 brought an end not only to Camerloher’s travels (to Liège, Paris etc.) but also apparently to his symphonic output: as Kapellmeister under the next two bishops of Freising, he composed chiefly sacred works and school dramas.
