Sunday Bandstand 22 October 2023
Joseph-Hector Fiocco (20 January 1703 – 21 June 1741), born in Brussels, was a composer and harpsichordist of the late Baroque period (1680–1750).
His father, the Italian composer Pietro Antonio Fiocco, and one of his older stepbrother Jean-Joseph Fiocco gave him much of his musical education.
He also learned Greek and Latin well enough to be able to become a school teacher in both those subjects.
Joseph Hector Fiocco worked under his stepbrother's direction at the Ducal Chapel of the Notre-Dame du Sablon most sources cite some time before 1730. In 1730, Joseph Hector became sous-maitre (submaster) of the Notre-Dame du Sablon; he did not keep this position for long, because he resigned in 1731 to become sangmeester (choirmaster) at Antwerp Cathedral.
At Antwerp (1731–37) he was in charge of the music. In 1737 he returned to his birthplace and worked in the collegiate church of St. Michael and St. Gudula. He died in Brussels at the age of 38.
On this week’s show we are featuring Robert Childs solo performance of his arrangement of Arioso and Allegro by Joseph-Hector Fiocco accompanied by the Black dyke Mills Band conducted by James Watson in 1996.
