Unpublished Suite, undated

 Series
Identifier: III

This collection contains the incomplete score and parts of the Marine Plantation Suite by Alfred L. Schmied. It contains fragments of a marine-based suite for orchestra that had been sketched out by Schmied. Orchestral parts appear to be missing since the score calls for brass and woodwinds, however most of the parts are not among the surviving materials. Schmied dedicated the piece to his former piano professor Rudolph Ganz.

The parts of the surviving score include the I. Prelude, II. The Sea Dragon, IV. Phospherescent Fish, V. The Dance of the Giant Crab. III. The Octopus and and VI. Conclusion are missing. The surviving parts include Violin I and II, Cello, Viola, Bass, Oboe II, Piccilo, and some percussion parts.
