Alice Tegnér

Alice Charlotta Tegnér (née Sandström, born in Karlshamn 12 March 1864, died in Stockholm 26 May 1943) found fame in the great many children’s songs that she composed over the decades from the 1890s onwards. The songs became exceedingly popular and many of them are still central to the Swedish children’s song tradition. She was also a successful organist, teacher and choir leader in Djursholm. Her contributions to art music consist of numerous solo songs, choral pieces and cantatas, and on the instrumental side, a violin sonata.
