Maria Elizabeth van Ebbenhorst Tengbergen (July 11, 1885 – July 16, 1980)[1][2] was a Dutch composer,[3] lyricist, organist,[4] and teacher.[5]

Tengbergen was born in Hoorn to Susanna Maria Gerlings and Hendrik Johan van Ebbenhorst Tengbergen, a government official. Her first music teacher was her aunt, Maria Elizabeth Gerlings, who was an organist. She studied music at schools in Leiden and Amsterdam with teachers Jean Baptiste de Paux, Sem Dresden, Steven van Groningen, and Wilhelmina ter Huppen.[5]

Tengbergen worked as a music teacher and organist. She wrote the lyrics as well as the music for many of her songs. Her students included the British musicologist Macario Santiago Kastner.[6] Dutch artist Engelien Reitsma-Valença engraved a print of Tengbergen at the piano in 1921, which is in the Rijksmuseum today .[7] Tengbergen corresponded with author and drama critic Jeanne Gabriëlle van Schaik-Willing.[8] Tengbergen's papers are archived in the Netherlands Music Institute.[9]
