Elucidatio musicæ choralis, das ist: Gründlich und wahre Erläuterung, oder Unterweisung, wie die edle und uralte Choral-Music fundamentaliter nach denen wolgegründten Reglen mit leichter Mühe möge erlehrnet werden - Samber, Johann Baptist 1654-1717 (Salzburg Mayr, 1710)
The personality and work of the Austrian cathedral organist from the archdiocese of Salzburg, music theorist and court musician Johann Baptist Samber, have so far been little researched. His writings offer information on performance practice, organ music or organ building, basso continuo, counterpoint, musical rhetoric and solmisation.
In "Elucidatio musicae choralis" Samber teaches the basics for the performance of Gregorian chant. This choral teaching is aimed primarily at the next generation of clerics and aspiring organists and "regentes chori".
