Many Italian composers of the 17th century went abroad to look for a job. Most of them travelled to Austria or Germany, but some took another direction. The best-known of them was Giovanni Battista Lulli, who as Jean-Baptiste Lully dominated musical life in France in the second half of the 17th century. Another one was Pietro Antonio Fiocco, who stayed the largest part of his life in the Southern Netherlands.

Joseph Hector Fiocco. His name mirrors his style: a synthesis of Italian and French elements. But contrary to what is often alleged, from a stylistic point of view, his Lamentations are more similar to the Leçons de Ténèbres (1714) by the Frenchman François Couperin, than to the Stabat Mater (1736) by the Italian Giovanni Pergolesi. The Lamentations feature great formal diversity, which is also found in the concern for varying the forces, whether instrumental or vocal. The first eight are for soprano, the last for bass. As concerns the instruments, some call for just the continuo, whereas in others, a cello obbligato part is added.
