Requiem for the Forgotten by Frank La Rocca for choir, organ, and strings commemorates the displaced and the homeless, championing the inherent dignity of every person.

The program opens with the a cappella Mass for Double Choir by Josef Rheinberger (1839–1901), who dedicated it to Leo XIII, a pope known for his advocacy for social justice.

Requiem for the Forgotten appears on the Cappella Records recording by Benedict XVI Ensemble, led by the esteemed Richard Sparks, who will also direct Cappella Romana in these concerts, with 45th Parallel Universe.
