"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
• pip

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.

1. Install the lastest version of noteblock-generator:

   pip install --upgrade noteblock-generator
   

   Configure your PATH so that noteblock-generator is executable on the command line.

2. Obtain src. You may clone the repo or download just that folder.

3. Obtain a world in Minecraft Java 1.19+. You may use your existing world or create a new one.

4. Run:

   noteblock-generator [path to src] [path to minecraft world]
   

   See noteblock-generator for more build options.
