Landore John Hughes (13 February 1872 – 16 June 1914)[1] was a Welsh composer known for his tune Calon Lân, generally used with a poem of the same name by Daniel James (Gwyrosydd).
He travelled internationally with the company and in the process taught himself six languages besides his native Welsh.
Hughes composed many of his tunes for Gymanfu Ganu and other Welsh singing meetings.
Hughes died of a brain hemorrhage at 3 Stockwell Villas, Treboeth, Swansea, in 1914.
He was buried adjacent to his parents in the graveyard of Caersalem Newydd Welsh Baptist Chapel, where he had served as organist.
