About the composer
Pietro Antonio Fiocco (1650 - 1714) was born in Venice, Italy. In 1681 he went to
Brussels, Belgium, where he married and stayed for the rest of his life. He became Maitre
de musique of the Ducal Chapel in 1687 and of the St.Goedele cathedral in 1696, holding
the latter function until his death.
