Excerpt: Catharina van Rennes (2 August 1858, Utrecht 23 September 1940, Amsterdam) was a Dutch music educator, soprano singer and composer.(Submitted on November 1, 2023.)
Van Rennes established her own singing school and developed her own teaching technique. Like her contemporary Hendrika Tussenbroek, she is remembered today for some popular Dutch children's songs such as "Drie kleine kleutertjes die zaten op een hek" (Three little toddlers were sitting on a fence), a translation of a Kate Greenaway verse, and "Madonnakindje" (Madonna child) as well as a religious song Kind'ren van ιιn vader" (Children of one Father).
