Gabriel Asaad (Syriac: ܓܒܪܐܝܠ ܐܣܥܕ) (March 18, 1907 – July 6, 1997 Stockholm) was an Assyrian composer and musician. He was born in Midyat. His classic songs include "Ho Donho Shemsho" (ܗܐ ܕܢܚܐ ܫܡܫܐ The sun is shining), "Motho Rhimto" (ܡܬܐ ܪܚܝܡܬܐ Beloved nation) and "Moth Beth-Nahrin" (ܡܬܝ ܒܝܬܢܗܪܝܢ Mesopotamia, my nation). Gabriel Asaad was a pioneer of Assyrian music and composed the first Assyrian song in the Turoyo language in modern times, "Othuroye Ho Mtoth Elfan l-Metba‘" (1926, ܐܬܘܪܝܶܐ ܗܐ ܡܛܬ ܐܠܦܢ ܠܡܛܒܥ Assyrians, our ship is sinking).
