The current doctoral study researched rethoric, oratory, and the Theory of affections to analyse the recent recovered cantata Mondo non più! by Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725). The historical context in whichthe cantata was written is introduced to point out the process of transposing baroque literary concepts into music like Wit, Decorum explained in many treatises as Il cannocchiale aristotelico by de Emanuele Tesauro (1592-1675). Treatises as Musurgia Universalis by Athanasius Kircher (1601-1680) and The passions of the Soul by René Descartes (1596-1650) helped to understand the process of assimilation of literary and cientific concepts by baroque art, and the transformation into Theory of affections. The baroque society ideals as teatrality, the use of metaphor and alegory proved to be one of the most salientrethoric tecniques in the relation between the text and the music in Scarlatti works porposing a new art, that is not only poetry or music.
