One of the best hub levels for its chill yet mysterious vibe - I always feel a good game needs a fun hub world to explore and this one definitely did it. This tune was so nostalgic to record, just trekking through trying to finish the game while also feeling the beginning pizzicato lines in duple instead of triple as a kid haha. Enjoy my cover of Gruntilda's Lair!
Composed by: Grant Kirkhope
Arrangement, Glockenspiel, Marimba, Fretless Bass, 5 String Bass, Violins, Violas, Double Bass, Tambourine, Bass Drum, Mix, Video - Nico Mendoza

That fretless bass adds so much, I never realised how much of the music from the original soundtrack uses it, or at least something that sounds like it. I always assumed it was a tuba, but honestly the fretless bass sound spot on.
Yes, same. Watching this really showed me just how intricate the instrumentation is. My boyfriend is a musician and while I've always loved music, I always had novice level knowledge of it until I met him, he's taught me so much about it and now I'm hearing things I didn't hear before.
It's supposed to be a bassoon.
And the normal bass is supposed to be a bass sax.
Thanks@@LightProgRock
Only thing missing is the laugh. Excellent work.
honestly sounds like tooies cause of that
Eeeeee-EEE-HEE-HEE-HEE-HEE
This reminds me of PPF's old "Gruntilda's Lair" video in all the best ways. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I'm a big fan of PPF!
Just overlay the
*"EEH-HEE-HEE-HEE-* HEE HEE- hee hee hee"
And it's complete
This track makes me feel all kinds of ways. One of the first pieces of music I ever heard. Top notch job King
Ayy thanks! Me too, so much exploring done here
this sounds amazing!!! I love how rich the sound is with all the low instruments and then when the glock comes in the contrast makes it sound especially magical!
Thanks! That bit definitely feels that way
I agree 100%! I never noticed all the instruments in this song until watching this
This needs more recognition.... this is an amazing cover. Well done
This is fantastic. Incredibly faithful to the original piece, and I like the substitution of the basses for the trombone and saxophone. Very nicely done!
Thanks! I was nervous replacing them but I'm glad it turned out fine :)
@@NicoMendozaMusic Really turned out awesome. I'd love to hear you try all variations of Gruntilda's lair theme
1:18 - 1:38 is probably one of the most haunting pieces of music of that entire era. You could hear the MAGIC in the music. This is one of the best re-captures of that section I've ever heard, and the violins even give that subtle "singing" beneath the twinkling. Absolutely amazing.
This tune and this game in particular are a huge reason why I went into music. I didn't realize at the time this soundtrack utilized the marimba so much, so that was just a nice coincidence hahaha. Wonderfully done as always Nico! You captured the feeling of the original track so well! I can't say too much without crying tears of nostalgia and gushing over you 😆 You're incredibly talented!!
Aww thanks so much Matt! Loved hearing your version too!
This video needs more love
you are the best bro i hear youre songs from old rare games every day

I've found your channel while searching for a fungi forest cover, you always deliver such good work! You absolutely deserve more views.
Thanks so much!
Came for the Banjo Kazooie music, stayed for the BASS.
Fantastic arrangements!
This is my childhood in a song thank you for giving me that rush of 13 years of effort trying to beat the game :')
Thanks! I feel that haha
This channel is highly undersubscribed... All your covers are extremely well done and orchestrated. You'll have the following you deserve sooner or later!
Thank you!
Ugh that fretless bass hit just right
I've begun to see a lot of these videos now.. I LOVE MY RECOMMENDATIONS
awww heck yeah DAT BASS :chefkiss:
Thanks!
This is amazing!!! It's a real pleasure to hear every instrument on this song. Thank you so much for this. Greetings from Chile!!! :DDD
This was awesome
Excellent.
Absolute fire emoji
Eyy mixing multiple bassy instruments together. Nice and spoopy vibe!
Thanks!
man this brings me back sop much ^^ one fo my all time fave games on the N64
I started laughing like Grunty right at the start out of habit
Amazing as always! I feel like I'm talon-trotting right through the lair as I listen to this
Thanks! I definitely do too haha
You're the Best!!!! I love it.
I freaking love this song. Your fretless bass sounds so great! I was smiling the whole time :)
Thanks!! It was such a nice line to play
Great cover!! The fretless bass really was a perfect choice for that lead part.
Thanks! The tone is so versatile
Loved it, started another playthrough of Banjo-Kazooie on Switch today and never get sick of this song :D
Thanks! I hope they port over Tooie
This is AWESOME
Thanks Navi!!
This was awesome!! great use of every instrument, totally brought me back to the n64 days.
Thanks!
This is an amazing cover especially by one person on all instruments! I will def be checking out more of your vids, nice job.
Thanks! It’s fun to play each part
Aah, I don’t know why I didn’t listen to this sooner, it didn’t pop up on my notifications till now, sorry Nico! I loved the different textures through the track, you can really hear the difference between all the plucked string instruments and mallets, and that’s so cool! Love the Kirkhope harmonic shifts and all that as well. Fantastic cover, aah!!
Haha no worries! Glad you liked it
I found it through algorithm. Glad I did. And I agree 100%.
Amazing
Fantastic! You are very skilled
Thanks!
SOOOO GOOD!
Thanks!
Dude, you need more views. Freakin' RUclips algorithm, man.
crushed it!!
Thanks man!
Another great and faithful cover! Nice choices with the fretless bass and the 5 string bass as replacements for the bassoon and saxophone 👍
Thanks! I’m glad that worked out well
I was just about to leave a comment on one of your videos asking if you were considering this piece. It’s so perfect considering the instruments you commonly use, and how heavily it relies on pizzicato strings and percussion instruments!! But you beat me to it!! lol 😄 Regardless, once again, excellent job!! Love your covers!! Great work!! Keep it up!!
Haha thanks! It definitely fit my arsenal well
Very good!
I don't like stairs much in my lair, they always make me gasp for air!
Haha it’s your theme song!
Quite possibly my favourite hub area in a videogame.
I feel that!
You've made a very beautiful work on that great track
Thanks! It was fun
This is so awesome! I loved that game! Can you do all variations of Gruntilda's Lair? I'd love to see how each one sounds. If not I 100% understand.
In the future!
@@NicoMendozaMusic AWESOME! 🤩
this makes me so god damn happy 😍
Amazing, per usual, Nico!
Thanks!
Eee heeheeheeheeheeheeheeck of a cover. Visually the strings pop nicely against the bluish shadows, nice bit of coloring there.
I should've done the Grunty cackle too lol
@@NicoMendozaMusic I know what place you'd have it on, just add it in at Patreon. If people want your Grunty cackle, they'd pay five bucks, or even double!
...Ok that's plenty awful rhymes, they almost qualify as crimes.
you killed it! well done!
Fantastic rendition!
INCREDIBLE!
Wow....😮😍😍
0:49 that's one tasty bass...
Great cover once more!
Thanks!
I always love your BK covers! How many basses can you fit into one video lol. Seriously though they all sound so good!
Haha thanks! I should do one with all 6!
This is really good! 👍
Thanks!
Me taking a casual stroll
So awesome! :3
Thanks!
Looks like there's still a few Banjo levels missing in this playlist!
Will definitely do more in the future :)
Dude literally is a one-man band
No, not a band, an ORCHESTRA
Nice 👍
Thanks!
You're welcome!
Need more views
I’m a simple man: I see Marimba, I request Treasure Trove Cove. ❤ 0:27
I actually did TTC! 🏝️
@@NicoMendozaMusic Morpheus_ShowmeDOTgif
Without the wicked witch evil laugh and that is much better and it was excellent of Gruntilfa’s Lair and it’s dark and scary
Pinned comment got ratio'd. lol. Great cover Keep it up!
Well played! :D
This time I have a slight and very subjective critique. The bass at 0:50 has a distinct (in lack of better terms) "metal string being attacked" sound compared to the fretless bass, and since this noise is so in focus it kind of distracted me from the melody. I'm not sure what I would think a better alternative in that context, though. Sorry ^^''
No worries! I did want to make both basses sound distinctly different but maybe this time it was a little overboard ;)
This is what I call drugs
not great but you tried here have a comment for the algorithm
I think you need some hearing aids. This was an awesome cover, Nico.
It’s almost flawless what do you mean lmao
sour note at 0:10 and very slightly off-tempo@@piffe, but I'm glad that you enjoy it! don't let my take ruin it for you.
There do seem to be some incorrect notes, in the glissandos on the marimba and the fretted bass part.
It's better than 99% of covers of this on here. I'm reminded a little bit of when I watch a video of an accomplished classical pianist, the comment section is filled with comments like "that part at 2:03 should have been forte, but it's being played pianoforte, absolutely dreadful, and the tempo should be 144 but it's being played at 140, and worst of all, they played a German augmented 6th at 5:52 when the composer clearly wrote a French augmented 6th". I mean, a fine-tuned appreciation for music is awesome, but at a certain point, it probably ruins music for you if you hear every small mistake in the way someone like me would hear a child slamming their fists against the piano keys.
Wow, I was always waiting for someone to cover this song, which is one of my favorites :). You should cover the final battle 😀 great job
Thanks!
