Mark John McEncroe is an Australian contemporary composer. A retired chef, he has had a life long love of and interest in music, as well as keeping a koi pond and Bonsai in his Japanese Courtyard garden.
Born in Sydney Australia, McEncroe commenced music studies in his adulthood. However, he had a varied interest in many kinds of music that led him to working in the music/record business in his early 20s and 30s. For much of that time he was a Label Manager, first with EMI Australia and then with EMI Sweden. During this period he had lessons in piano, trumpet, flute and later the clarinet.
Now a full time composer, Mark is happy to do what he loves every day. His easy listening compositions for solo piano and full orchestra take inspiration from all genres of musical endeavours. They are available on CD, MP3 download, and as sheet music scores.
Mark hopes you enjoy the full-length videos of all his compositions here on his channel.
I'm always glad to see new story ballets being created. I especially admire ones like this where original music is created for it, as opposed to using a medley of composer's music that was intended for other purposes. Congratulations.
Que lastima que un gran compositor sea desconocido en realidad lo mejor de la Francia he conocido su nombre gracias a mis estudios en solo de harmonia donde he conocido su nombre en su tratado de harmonia magnifico
Some of the violinists seem to be using 4 fine tuners. Isn't that unusual for classical players ? Can someone enlighten me ? Lovely piece of music . Really enjoyed listening .
This is such a warm and wonderful piece Herr McEncroe! I detect a bit of Copeland in your composing and orchestrating! I wish we could have been there to enjoy this live concert, with this wonderful orchestra and Conductor! ....Peace! 🎼❤☮
