"Sull'aria ... che soave zeffiretto" in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, arranged for Minecraft's noteblocks.
Recording: https://youtu.be/2ZWYiuBa7NQ
Instrumentation:
- Susanna: bell + flute
- La Contessa: harp + flute
- Oboe: flute
- Bassoon: iron xylophone
- Violin I & II, viola: harp
- Cello: bass
Tranposed up one semitone to better fit noteblock's ranges. However, a few notes still do not fit, then they are either transposed up/down an octave or played by a different instrument, depending on which sounds better to me.
Minecraft Java 1.20 to play the pre-built world; 1.19+ if you build from source.
Either way, go to Music & Sounds settings and turn on Directional Audio. Optionally, turn down Master Volume to about 60% to 70%, otherwise it might be a bit too loud (but of course this depends on your speakers).
Copy the World folder into your saves.
To obtain the folder, you may clone the repo or use third-party tools such as Down-Git to download it.
- python 3.10-3.12

The structure is auto-generated using noteblock-generator. The program takes src which defines the composition, and generates the structure inside an existing Minecraft world.
