        Sunrise’ yellow noise is scored for a soprano with an orchestra minus violas and cellos. It lasts approximately 12’ . It is a setting of an Emily Dickinson poem (written in 1864):

        Ample make this Bed –
        Make this Bed with Awe –
        In it wait till Judgement break
        Excellent and Fair.

        Make its Mattress straight –
        Make its Pillow round –
        Let no Sunrise’ yellow noise
        Interrupt this Ground –
