Alpha (from Minecraft) by C418

View more Alpha is the cue C418 wrote for Minecraft's ending. It plays after the Ender Dragon is defeated, carrying the credits and the End Poem, and it belongs to Minecraft - Volume Beta, C418's second official soundtrack, which he self-released on 9 November 2013. The piece runs roughly ten minutes and works as an orchestral and electronic reprise built from motifs of earlier Minecraft music, including passages identified with Minecraft, Mice on Venus and Moog City 2. The sources cited here identify those motifs, but they do not establish the exact sequence, the opening texture or the ending, so those details are left unverified. It is not a solo piano piece as composed, so any keyboard texture on a piano page describes the arrangement, not the original. The selected Musescore score is a fan arrangement titled Alpha (full) - Minecraft Credits/End Poem; the full label is the arranger's own and the arrangement's completeness is not verified here. Any solo-piano realization in the selected score is an editorial choice layered on top of C418's writing, and it should stay separate from the identity, release history and structure of the original track.
