The in depth analysis of complementing the musical score of Night Journey, in this book, draws upon many scholarly sources and includes the composer's own translations of Arabic texts taken from the Qur'an, the hadith and the writings of Islamic luminaries such as al-Ghazali and al-Hallaj. While being educative in its own right, this symbolic analysis is also intended to assist the reader in vicariously partaking in the mystical experience - the mystical journey by night, which gave birth to Tiutiunnik's string quartet Night Journey.
