| Abstract
|
:
|
ʿAbduh al-Ḥāmūlī (also Ḥamūlī, b. possibly 1836, 1841, or 1845, d. 12 May 1901) was the most famous vocalist and composer of late nineteenth-century Egypt. Sī ʿAbduh, as he was known, gained iconic stature as the renewer of Arabic music in the khedival era, along with his main competitor in composition, Muḥammad ʿUthmān (d. 1900). Most of the information concerning his life is to be found in the almost hagiographical essay on his art written by Qasṭandī Rizq, from 1936 to 1947; later sources provide little additional information.
