Scarlatti, Si suoni la tromba

Scarlatti's Si suoni la tromba usually comes up in a set of 7 arie con tromba sola. Does anyone know whether they were separate compositions, or 7 arias taken out of operas (much like Parto, Parto is taken out of La Clemenza di Tito and done with voice, clarinet, and accompaniment)?

Either way, Si suono probably shouldn't stay on its own page - if the original work was part of a set, the set needs to have a page of its own. If it was from an opera, the single air needs to be put on that page.

It doesn't come from any opera. Scarlatti wrote at least seven arias for soprano and baroque trumpet.
