Gia il sole dal Gange is an aria from the Act II of the opera L’honestò negli Amori (Honesty in Love Affair), which opera with the ritormello scored for four-part string orchestra. Saldino, a pageboy, originally sang it, which is a small character in a story about pirates in Algeria. This aria is about the sun is shining all over the Gange River and the ray of the sun has lighten up the whole land. Saldino is alone on stage, enjoying the freshness of the morning. By expressing this mood, Scarlatti has used a strong Eb major key together with an energetic and lively tempo. Scarlatti also creates a stable ascending line for each and heightens all the accented ornamentation.
