What bells are needed for this piece? Can you also specify what level it is? Thanks!

Hi Rain,
The bells required are D5, E5, F#5, G5, A5, B5, C6, D6, E6, F#6, G6, A6, B6, C6, D6, and E6, with D6-E7 on bell tree.
While the AGEHR Level System was developed for full handbell choir scores (rather than solos and ensembles), the approximate skill level for the handbell soloist in Heather’s Dance is somewhere around Level 4.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
