"Viaticum takes us on three journeys: of the mind, of the body, and of the soul. During each journey, we seek an answer to the same question: 'What is the nature of the universe?' Three answers are given: one by the voice of philosophy, another by the voice of science, and the last by the voice of religion."--Program notes, p. 5. |
