Hasan Ahmad Rashid (Arabic: حسن أحمد رشيد: also spelled Hassan Rasheed; July 10, 1896 – May 25, 1969) was an Egyptian composer and operatic baritone.
While there, he continued his studies in violin, composition, and singing, occasionally performing in University concerts as a violinist and a baritone.
He returned to Cairo in 1918 where he began to compose vocal music to Arabic texts.
The work was influenced by Italian opera, yet Rashid's melodic invention is not without originality.
However, the Egyptian public found it difficult to accept the conventions of Western operatic style, particularly when associated with familiar poetry in Arabic, and Rasheed’s opera had few immediate successors.
