"Freezeezy Peak (Christmas Bells) from Banjo-Kazooie on the Nintendo 64 (1998)
Composer: Grant Kirkhope
Album: No Official Soundtrack Release
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Rare
Ok, yes. There have been official soundtracks for Banjo Kazooie, but when I went looking for this specific variation on the original "Freezeezy Peak" I was unable to find it on any of the albums. A lot of the music is the same, except that here some chimes/bells sound almost like they're playing a 1-3-5-3 chord progression, but I could be off and am just now embarrassing myself. I had originally planned on playing through Banjo-Kazooie so I could at least say that I played up to Freezeezy Peak, but then life, time, and several other games got in the way and I still hadn't played from beyond the first level after the first playing the game back when the first game was released in '98.
Melody-wise, I can't really pinpoint anything that tells the player to enjoy this wintry wonderland of golden stars, music notes, and puzzle pieces. Still, almost everything else, like the jingle bells and chimes, is classic for what this song sets out to accomplish.
