Something wrong?He wrote more than six hundred chamber cantatas and reshaped Italian opera into the form that would dominate Europe for a century. His contemporaries called him "the Italian Orpheus" - the architect who gave the aria its final form and invented the three-movement overture that became the blueprint for the symphony.

Pietro Alessandro Gaspare Scarlatti was born on 2 May 1660 in Italy and split his working life between Naples and Rome, composing much of his output for the papal city. He inherited a dramatic tradition from Monteverdi, Cesti, and Cavalli, then pushed it to its limit: he designed the da capo aria that every opera house in Europe would copy, invented the Italian overture in three movements, and developed the four-part sonata that prefigured the string quartet. Handel studied his theatrical music closely and carried its influence forward. Scarlatti moved fluently across every genre of his era - sonata, concerto grosso, motet, mass, oratorio - but the chamber cantata was where he reigned without rival. He died on 22 October 1725, leaving behind two composer sons, Domenico and Pietro Filippo, and a Neapolitan School that bore his stamp for generations.
