Amériques is an orchestral composition by Edgard Varèse, scored for a very large, romantic orchestra with additional percussion (for eleven performers) including sirens. Written between 1918 and 1921 and revised in 1927, it was the first work Varèse composed after he moved to the United States. Although it was not his first work, he destroyed many of his earlier pieces, effectively making Amériques his opus one (although he never used that designation).

  • Amériques est une œuvre du compositeur français Edgard Varèse. Écrite entre 1918 et 1921, révisée en 1927, elle est destinée à un orchestre romantique de très grande taille, avec des percussions additionnelles (pour onze solistes) comprenant des sirènes. C'est la première œuvre composée par Varèse après son arrivée aux États-Unis, et bien que ce ne soit pas sa première œuvre, elle est la première qu'il ait conservée. Il semble qu'il en a écrit des esquisses dès 1915 puisque sa future femme, Louise Norton, se souvient avoir vu des brouillons de partition pour une œuvre conçue pour un orchestre à large effectif.
