Ecuatorial is a secular cantata for bass or male chorus and ensemble by French composer Edgard Varèse. Finished in 1934, it was revised in 1961.

Background

Ecuatorial was written between 1932 and 1934. It was premiered on April 15, 1934, in New York's Town Hall. The premiere was given by bass Chase Baromeo and conductor Nicolas Slonimsky. In 1961, Edgard Varèse revised the composition, making several modifications to the scoring to facilitate its publication. The revised version was published by Colfranc Music Publishing in 1961 and, later, by Casa Ricordi.
