In 1984 I wrote a three-minute song—a mini variation set, really—called Northeast Reservation Lines, on a poem by Jane Shore, based on an airline’s recorded “on hold” message: “Northeast Reservation Lines are busy. As soon as an agent becomes available, we will connect you. Thank you for waiting. This message will be repeated.” As in the old “telephone” game, the original message becomes hopelessly garbled over the course of a series of attempted repetitions, a state reflected in the metamorphoses of the musical setting. After hearing Northeast Reservation Lines, Jane suggested Fortunes Pantoum (her “only other Found Poem,” as she describes it) as a possible candidate for a choral setting. Many years later, I finally have gotten around to it. The poem consists entirely of fortunes from actual fortune cookies.

Fortunes Pantoum
by Jane Shore

You will go on a long journey
You will have a happy and healthy life
You will recover valuables thought lost
You will marry and have many children



You will have a happy and healthy life
Your sweetheart will always be faithful
You will marry and have many children
You will have many friends when you need them

Your sweetheart will always be faithful
Soon you will come into a large inheritance
You will have many friends when you need them
You will succeed in your line of work

Soon you will come into a large inheritance
You will travel to many new places
You will succeed in your line of work
Be suspicious of well-meaning strangers

You will travel to many new places
A message from a distance is soon to be received
Be suspicious of well-meaning strangers
Important news from an unexpected source!

A message from a distance is soon to be received
You will meet a dark and handsome foreigner
Important news from an unexpected source!
Do not take unnecessary chances

You will meet a dark and handsome foreigner
You have a fear of visiting high places
Do not take unnecessary chances
Your misunderstanding will be cleared up in time

You have a fear of visiting high places
Grasp at the shadow and lose the substance
Your misunderstanding will be cleared up in time
Sometimes you worry too much about death

Grasp at the shadow and lose the substance
You will recover valuables thought lost
Sometimes you worry too much about death
You will go on a long journey
