Luc Arbogast, né en 1975 à La Rochelle, est un musicien chanteur contreténor fortement inspiré par la musique médiévale. Luc Arbogast est né d'un père militaire d'origine strasbourgeoise et d'une mère femme au foyer d'origine Allemande. Il passe son enfance dans le petit hameau des « Égaux de Landrais » dans la circonscription d'Aigrefeuille d'Aunis au sud-est de La Rochelle. Luc Arbogast chante et joue une musique inspirée de la France médiévale et surtout de la tradition paysanne où se chevauchent mélancolie et spiritualité. Muni d'un bouzouki, de grelots et d'un Laúd, ce musicien autodidacte manie le clair-obscur avec ferveur et beaucoup de sincérité. Il s'inspire parfois des Cantigas de Santa María et de Lieder de Walter von der Vogelweide, de Hildegard von Bingen, ou de Guillaume de Machault1. Il a également le secret de nombreux morceaux chantés traditionnels, réarrangés par ses soins ou composés par lui, tel un branle double mélancolique chanté en français, qui aborde la mélancolie de l'enfance perdue par un texte plus contemporain, ainsi que des chants inspirés de scènes du quotidien de la vie du Moyen Âge au début du xxe siècle : chants de quête, chants crépusculaires, amour courtois, deuil, mariages. Après s'être produit essentiellement dans la rue2, sur les parvis des cathédrales ou lors de fêtes médiévales organisées dans toute la France 3, il aborde désormais une carrière professionnelle.2003 : Fjall d'yr Vinur Albums 2004 : Domus 2007 : Hortus Dei 2009 : Aux Portes de Sananda 2012 : Canticum in Terra A countertenor is a male singing voice whose vocal range is equivalent to that of a contralto, mezzo-soprano, or (less frequently) a soprano, usually through use of falsetto, or far more rarely than normal, modal voice. A pre-pubescent male who has this ability is called a treble. This term is used exclusively in the context of the classical vocal tradition, although numerous popular music artists also prefer employing falsetto. The term first came into use in England during the mid 17th century, and was in wide use by the late 17th century. However, the use of adult male falsettos in polyphony, commonly in the alto range, was common in all-male sacred choirs for some decades previous, as early as the mid-16th century, and modern-day ensembles such as the Tallis Scholars and The Sixteen maintain the use of male altos in period works. During the Romantic period, the popularity of the countertenor voice waned and few compositions were written with that voice type in mind. In the Early Middle Ages, depopulation, deurbanization, and barbarian invasions, begun in Late Antiquity, continued apace. The barbarian invaders formed new kingdoms in the remains of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century North Africa and the Middle East, once part of the Eastern Roman Empire, became an Islamic Empire after conquest by Muhammad's successors. Although there were substantial changes in society and political structures, the break with Antiquity was not complete, because most of the new kingdoms incorporated many of the extant Roman institutions; while monasteries were founded as Christianity expanded in western Europe. In the 7th and 8th centuries, the Franks, under the Carolingian dynasty, established an empire covering much of western Europe; the Carolingian Empire endured until the 9th century, when it succumbed to the pressures of invasion — the Vikings from the north; the Magyars from the east, and the Saracens from the south. During the High Middle Ages, which began after AD 1000, the population of Europe increased greatly as technological and agricultural innovations allowed trade to flourish and crop yields to increase. Manorialism — the organization of peasants into villages that owed rent and labor services to the nobles; and feudalism — the political structure whereby knights and lower-status nobles owed military service to their overlords, in return for the right to rent from lands and manors - were two of the ways society was organized in the High Middle Ages. Kingdoms became more centralized after the breakup of the Carolingian Empire. The Crusades, first preached in 1095, were military attempts, by western European Christians, to regain control of the Middle Eastern Holy Land from the Muslims, and succeeded long enough to establish Christian states in the Near East.
