Prof. Joan Haaland Paddock: The Lur that Saved Norway
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- In 1612, Scottish mercenaries invaded Norway and journeyed east to join Swedish forces in the Kalmar War against the Danish-Norse kingdom, destroying all in their path. It was unclear who could stop them until a haunting sound made by a young woman with a type of wooden trumpet called a “lur” saved her people.
Professor Joan Haaland Paddock discusses the background and construction of the lur, as well the story of the heroine, Prillar Guri, who sounded the lur to save her people from Scottish invasion during the Kalmar War in 1612 at the Battle of Kringen.
Paddock, at Linfield since 1994, is the first woman to receive a doctorate in trumpet performance from Indiana University. Paddock received the Emmy Award from the National Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Performer’s Certificate from Indiana University. She was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to Norway, and studied at the Norwegian State Academy of Music. She is a trumpeter with Halcyon Trio Oregon, a Bach Trumpet Clinician for the Selmer Music Corporation, a 27-year member of the trumpet section with Oregon’s Britt Festival Orchestra and an “on call” trumpeter with the Oregon Symphony and Portland Opera.
"The Lur of Prillar Guri" is part of Linfield's Faculty Lecture Series (www.linfield.ed....

Very good Professor Paddock!
All folk tunes can be played on this instrument, especially when it is about 7' long. So the folk music scale is actually the natural scale (harmonic series). Instruments of this length, when tuned to each other (say, 4 of them) create perfect triads. This was eventually played at court and the Church then accepted triads and tempered their diatonic scale. In English, simple songs played in the round at court have survived in banal children's songs such as "The farmer in the Dell," "Row, row, row your boat," "Brother John, " etc. Iconography shows this as far back as the 7th century. No one knows this. We have forgotten because the functionality of using these instruments to herd livestock died out by the 17th century.
Was not able to find a lur for sale on the Internet. Glad to have seen and heard yours though. Thank you.

go to 3:40 for her actually playing the lur
This isn't the same stuff Prillar-Guri used. The verb prilla in Norwegian means finger (an instrument), so it would have finger holes.
If the story is even real
Still an interesting video
Where can I get a copy of that print/magazine "Viking" The Battle of Kringen?

It´s important to have in mind that the story of Prillar Guri is a myth. Most likely she never existed. The legend is first mentioned in written records in the 1830s, almost 200 years afther the battle of Kringen. There is no written records from 1612 mentioning here. The word Prillar is not a nam used to describe a lur. its a different instrument mad out of a rams horn. If she ever existed it´s uncertain if she even played the lur att all. But the story off the battle itself is very fascinating. Even tho she is a mythical figur, she has bin, and stil is an iconic national symbol. She is often appearing on old decorated objects with national motivs, and sh is also to be found on the local coat of arms of the municipality of Sel
A lur with holes could be called prillarlur, though? Å prilla means to finger an instrument (hole, string etc.) Can't you just make finger holes in the lur? Is it no longer a lur then, or does it just not really work?
There are at least two instruments named prillar- in Norwegian: flute and horn.
Where could I buy this beautiful Instrument?
I wonder if she can play Dunkelheit
I need one :(
How do you play on it

The Scottish didn’t invade Norway at all they landed there and were well known in the area, they were well known in Romsdal where they bought timber, also the story of Pillar Guri is a well known myth along with much of the story of The Battle of Kringen
The scots were mercenaries of the swedish king. AKA the opposals in the kalmar war. The scots might've not intended to invade Norway itself, but they would ruin apart of Denmark-Norway's reputation if they made it all the way to sweden.
Wether or not Guri blew the Lur, the battle definetily happened and there's unlimited amounts of evidence supporting that including several war artifacts in Maihaugen museum in Lillehammer. Another possibility that the local farmers heard about the mercenaries is that two horsemen secretly followed the army, altough i've not looked much into that. So it's either the horsemen or Guri, perhaps both.
I might've missunderstood you're statement hence my comment but i'm assuming you're painting the scots as innocent, they were not.

Notice that red painting behind her, its full of vulvas. Feminist example.
Are vulvas political now? The anatomy of 50% of the human population?
