Thanks to a commenter, I’m alerted to this interesting story:

Shantigarh Requiem for the Unborn composed by John Bonaduce (according to the commentor, the brother of Partridge Family Danny Bonaduce – and he does resemble him in the photo here) over the past ten years, and used in the Archdiocese of LA memorial Mass for the unborn. The link above is an article from the 2004 LA Tidings:

The liturgy, named the Shantigarh Requiem for the Unborn, is a journey through Scripture. The very first words sung by a choir of more than 100 are from the Book of Wisdom: "Before the Lord, the whole universe is as a grain or a drop of morning dew. And though we are small his love is great, for he is Lord and lover of souls."

Bonaduce said those words struck him as a perfect memorial for the unborn.

"If the Lord can see us in a drop of morning dew, I invite the listener to see life in a single cell or in an unborn child. If God can make that reach, it’s my hope that we can," he said.

The emotional center of the liturgy takes place after Communion when some 160 people will process with candles up to the altar. That number — 160 — represents the number of estimated abortions that will take place in Los Angeles on Jan. 23. Bonaduce settled on that figure based on data from the California Pro-Life Council.

The candles are lit in memory of "these little lives that were a part of our world when our sun rose and at setting are no longer with us," said Bonaduce. "It’s only these candles to suggest they were ever here."
