	The bulk of the music is played by the central Earth-Group - their three sections (Parts I, II and III) are framed by four 'Seasons' played by the surrounding Constellation-Group of bells, keyboards and soundfile. The twelve Constellations are laid out around the edge of the hall in the correct order - the Constellation-Group perform only the six or seven 'Signs' which can be seen during a particular season at a constant latitude and time. As each new season presents a partially new set of six or seven 'Signs', the seven bell-players take up correspondingly new positions at the instruments which represent those Signs. Consequently during the course of the work they gradually revolve around the audience almost one complete turn (Plate 1). Stoicheia runs continuously for 65 minutes, and the form of the work can be followed, if desired, with reference to the following diagram: [http://www.choroi.net/Stoicheia.pdf See PDF in link]		The bulk of the music is played by the central Earth-Group - their three sections (Parts I, II and III) are framed by four 'Seasons' played by the surrounding Constellation-Group of bells, keyboards and soundfile.
