| Naxos | Joseph-Hector Fiocco was born in 1703, the eighth-born child of the Venetian composer Pietro Antonio Fiocco. His father, who was born about 1650 in Venice, had settled in Brussels by 1682, when he married Jeanne de Laetre. A year after the death of his wife in 1691 he married Jeanne-Françoise Deudon, with whom he had eleven children, in addition to three that his first wife had borne him. He held various important musical posts, including that of master of the ducal chapel and master of music of the church of Notre Dame du Sablon and the electoral court chapel, and co-director of the Opéra du Quai du Foin. His son Joseph-Hector became sous-maître in the court chapel in 1729 or 1730, under his half brother Jean-Joseph, who had succeeded their father on the latter’s death in 1714. In 1726 Joseph-Hector married Marie-Caroline Dujardin with whom he had two children. He resigned from his post in Brussels on 13th August 1731 to succeed Willem De Fesch as sangmeester at Antwerp Cathedral. A few years later, in 1737, he returned to Brussels to become master at the collegiate church of St Michael and St Gudule, a position which had become vacant after the death of Pierre-Hercule Bréhy. He held this position until his death in 1741 at the age of 38. |
