When playing Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, I said I'd have a shot at this. It's nothing spectacular, but I found it pretty fun to do anyway. So this is Bells, but with Banjo Kazooie instruments, I guess you'd call it a soundfont, especially as the samples were being handled by an Audigy 2 - you do realize that's pretty much all done in software on the CPU, right? - which does mostly work. This, combined with the fact that Bobby wrote the song and that I'm the one covering it, does lead to it sounding a tad inauthentic in places.
In theory it wouldn't be impossible to inject new sequences into BK and it may even be possible to then run it on an actual N64, but I'm not really interested in doing that and already miss the more ominous and imposing sounds of my synthesizers.

There were quite a few things in here that I couldn't quite make my mind up for, like whether the brass (after the flute at the start) ought to be an octave higher or not or which instrument to play at the end.
I also moved the entire song up to C (from G?) to be more in keeping with BK's music.
Suspect the drum fills give away that I'm the one behind this. Can't help but suspect that's a distinctly DXZeff thing.

Bells was composed by Bobby Prince (Robert Prince III) and he retains the rights to that composition.
You do realize what a mess this is, right? That I'm trying to imitate another composer with a song from yet another composer?
