It is one of 41 cantatas Scarlatti composed for soprano voice.  The text was written by poet and librettist Pietro Metastasio.  The exact date of publication is not printed on the original score.  Because this cantata belongs to the volume "Österreichische Nationalbibliothek" (named for the library in Vienna, Austria), the cantata was likely composed between 1729 and 1757, during the composer's time in Spain.
