The publication record for Arnold Bax's tone poem "The Garden of Fand," held jointly by IMSLP (publisher Murdoch, Murdoch & Co., London, 1922) and by the Musikproduktion Hofling/Repertoire Explorer performing edition, which reproduces the score's premiere details (Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Frederick Stock, 29 October 1920) and the composer's own extensive prefatory programme note. That note begins, "The Garden of Fand is the sea. Upon its surface floats a small ship adventuring towards the sunset from the shores of Eirinn," and narrates the Irish saga of Cuchulainn drawn to the sea-goddess Fand's enchanted island.
