Noir for Orchestra (2005)
2005 Centre Acanthes Festival
"...Noir by Chinese-born composer Fang Man. Her well-crafted score, receiving its U.S. premiere in this concert, is launched by deep rumblings in the orchestra, later punctuated by jazzy flashes of brass and percussion, and finally brought to a galloping, thunderous close. It all added up last night to a concise, involving little drama in a spicy harmonic language that seemed to keep the players thoroughly involved."
— Tim Smith, The Baltimore Sun
Aqua In Memoriam Toru Takemitsu for Large Orchestra (2003-4)
2007 Toru Takemitzu Award
"The work by Man Fang, who lives in the United States, is an elegant writer and stands out with fresh sensibility." In commenting her work AQUA, "This is an outstanding piece. In employing transforming sound waves to create a landscape of light and water, it offered a superb unity. The second movement, "AQUA," was fascinating to me. The third movement, although short, had poetic emotional expression and was also very impressive."
— Akira Nishimura, Composer,
Judge of the Toru Takemitsu Award 2007
