Joseph-Hector Fiocco

Joseph-Hector Fiocco (Brussels, 27 January 1703 – Brussels, 1741) was a Flemish composer, violinist, and conductor active in Brussels during the first half of the eighteenth century, a period in which the Southern Netherlands stood at a crossroads between French courtly taste, Italian virtuosity, and local contrapuntal tradition. Born into a prominent musical family, he was the son of the Venetian-born composer Pietro Antonio Fiocco, who had settled in Brussels and served as maître de chapelle at the cathedral of Saints Michael and Gudula.
