Program Notes

Minecraft has won numerous awards and sold over 54 million copies across all technology platforms. Originally developed as a sandbox game that allows the player(s) to construct objects, cities, worlds, etc. out of textured cubes in a 3D world, there are four distinct modes. Its brilliance lies in the fact that players have no specific goals and are free to choose how to play the game.

This medley was compiled from selected music released with the Alpha version of the game including: Minecraft (Main Theme), Mice on Venus, Sweden, Subwoofer Lullaby, Wet Hands, and Haggstrom.
