He enjoyed the protection of Queen Christina of Sweden, in whose honour an opera of his, Dov' e amore a pieta, was produced in 1679. During Alessandro Scarlatti's second sojourn in Rome (17031708), Pasquini and Corelli were frequently associated with him in musical performances, especially in connexion with the Arcadian Academy , of which all three were members. Pasquini died at Rome on the 22nd of November 1710, and was buried in the church of St Lorenzo in Lucina . He deserves remembrance as a vigorous composer for the harpsichord ; and an interesting account of his music for this instrument will be found in J. S. Shedlock's The Pianoforte Sonata.
