Author mac37 DescriptionEN English Description Calon Lan is a Welsh song which was written as a hymn in the 1890s. Both lyric writer and composer, Daniel James and John Hughes respectively, were born into poverty and worked industrial jobs from their teenage years (Felin Fach 2020). The song was originally written for Welsh hymn-singing festivals such as Cymanfaoedd Ganu however it became very popular during the 1904-05 Welsh Revival (Gower Hidden History 2016). Today the song remains extremely popular with the Welsh. It is consistently sung in Wales national rugby games, as well as by the most revered choirs and soloists in the country (Welldigger 2012). “Calon Lan” is Welsh for “A Pure Heart”. The lyrics describe how a pure and good heart is more valuable and meaningful than any material possession. This song is meaningful to the Welsh culture because of its generational popularity. It has been sung by Welsh people in every significant event of the last century, including both Worlds Wars and Wales winning the Six Nations in 2021. Therefore it units the Welsh people and has a strong cultural connection. Felin Fach. 2020. Calon Lan Lyrics. Accessed 2022. https://www.felinfach.com/blogs/blog/calon-lan.
