Flemish organist, harpsichordist and composer. He was the eighth child
of Pietro Antonio Fiocco (1653-1714) and Jeanne Françoise Deudon.
Nothing is known of his early years. From c.1729 to 1731 he was sous-
maitre at the royal chapel. He resigned in August 1731 to accept the
post of sangmeester (choirmaster) at Antwerp Cathedral, succeeding
Willem De Fesch in a post he held until 1737. Then he returned to
Brussels to serve as sangmeester of the collegiate church of St Michel
and Ste Gudule following the death of Petrus Hercules Brehy. He held
this post until his premature death four years later. As a composer, he
was mainly active as a church composer writing masses, motets, psalms
and other sacred pieces. He also left a collection of 'Pieces de
clavecin' (2 suites of 12 pieces each) which demonstrate the strong
influence of French School. His brother Jean-Joseph Fiocco (1686-1746)
was also organist and composer.
