Natalie's Suite
By Mark John Mcencroe
Regular price
$102.00
Three movement symphonic suite for piano and orchestra. c.40'00
Three Faces of Addiction. Composed 2014.
The work focuses on the dilemma of addiction. The overriding tragedy of this malady is denial, and the absolute obsession that one day, the sufferer will gain control over their problem. The insanity of doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result, is at the core of addiction. To illustrate this the composer has deliberately stayed in the home key throughout the entire work, to emphasise this aspect of addiction and create a “tragic soundscape”.
Conductor's score includes a CD of the work performed by The Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra.

Odon - A Modern Medieval Tale
By Mark John Mcencroe and Mark J Saliba
Regular price
$204.00
A Ballet: Act I and Act II, c.90'
The ballet ‘Odon’ is a story about greed, power, ambition, love, treachery, courage and hope, all set in a medieval era. The ballet tells a story about the relationship of a king and queen set in medieval times that abuse their power. Their subjects feel neglected and abused by this monarchy which results in the birth of a new breed of ambitious people who use the masses to overthrow the monarchs. In the end, the usurpers are overthrown by other ambitious people for the same reasons. The underlying theme of the story revolves around the principle of that human behaviour does not really change, as we can see from the same happenings in our modern times.
Behind The Scenes story about the ballet narrated by the members who participated in the production and world premier -
The world premier performance on August 17th 2022. State Opera Stara Zagora Bulgaria of this ballet ODON - A Modern Medieval Tale.

Reflections
By Mark John Mcencroe

This recording of piano music by Mark John McEncroe is brilliantly performed by the John Martin. Monet's garden paintings are reflected by 13 musical images of Japanese gardens resplendent with fishponds and bonsai. The music is strongly influenced by J S Bach and baroque styling but is given a contemporary feel by considerable use of jazz harmonies of which John has the exceptional touch to so implement.Wirr 082
