Llanfair was written by Robert Williams in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Anglesey, Wales and the tune was named after the town. This hymn tune was also harmonised by the Director of Music of University College, Oxford, David Evans. Other hymn tunes used for "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today" are "Orientis Partibus", "Savannah," and "Resurrexit". One of these could potentially have been the original tune when it was first performed by Wesley, but this is unknown. British composer John Rutter published a choral arrangement of the "Christ The Lord Is Risen Today", using the Easter Hymn tune, in 2016. Also NCC Worship, working with Integrity Music, composed a modern tune to accompany the hymn.
