cc65 will certainly scratch the itch you've got. Since control of the sound chip doesn't require super fast code, the significant overhead of running C on a 6502 won't be an issue, and you'll be in a familiar environment.
However, there are also lots of music editors for the C64, both native and running on PCs, that can give you very fine grained control of the SID without programming. I believe GoatTracker is highly regarded, but there are lots.
