Vision of the Work
Uyan Ey Gözlerim is Ayangil's flagship artistic work: complete, fully produced, and publicly released. Its material is the Ottoman sacred and Sufi repertoire preserved in the seventeenth-century collections of Ali Ufkî Bey (Wojciech Bobowski) — music roughly four hundred years old, reaching the present through a written source of unusual completeness for its period.
The work is positioned not as a closed archival object but as a living programme that can be heard today and presented anew. Its availability on digital platforms does not close it to concert presentation, institutional collaboration, or commercial development; it provides a finished foundation for all of them.
Artistic Significance
Ali Ufkî's collections hold a singular place in the history of Turkish music. Set down at a time when the tradition was otherwise carried largely by ear, from master to student, they retain a layer of seventeenth-century practice that would otherwise survive only by inference.
Uyan Ey Gözlerim renders that layer as performed and recorded music rather than as documentary evidence alone. The programme was built as a bridge between scholarly transmission and living performance: the repertoire was prepared and directed by Ruhi Ayangil, with the Ayangil Turkish Music Orchestra and Chorus as its performing body.
Completed and Released Work
Uyan Ey Gözlerim is complete. Its recording and production are finished, and the work has been publicly released.
This page does not present the work as a proposal. The work itself is finished and can be heard now; the opportunities set out below concern the presentation, promotion, distribution, and commercial development of that completed work.
Digital Release
The work can be heard on Spotify and other digital music platforms.
No release date, credit detail, production information, or listening statistic appears on this page: none is established by the archive sources, and none is invented here. Wider digital distribution, new promotional work, and platform collaboration remain open.
Concert and Live Presentation
The completed work remains open to new concert presentation and live performance. The programme is offered to concert halls, festivals, universities, and cultural institutions for performance by the Ayangil Turkish Music Orchestra and Chorus under Ruhi Ayangil's direction.
Ensemble scale and programme length may be adapted to the presenting venue and occasion. No date, venue, or engagement is announced on this page.
Recording and Production
The recording and production of the work are finished. There is no outstanding recording session or unfinished production stage under this heading.
The completed recording may itself become the subject of collaboration — for broadcast, documentary use, new forms of presentation, or documentation of live performance. The terms of any such arrangement are settled case by case.
Partnership Opportunities
Partnership opportunities include concert and live presentation, promotion and distribution, sponsorship and institutional partnership, and licensing and commercial collaboration. Each is set out below.
These routes are not exclusive of one another: a partner may take up one of them, or several in combination. Proposals that fall outside these headings but serve the artistic purpose of the work are equally welcome.
Sponsorship and Institutional Partnership
The presentation, promotion, and wider circulation of the work are open to sponsorship and to institutional partnership with foundations, cultural bodies, universities, and organisations that support the arts.
No supporting organisation is named on this page, and no existing support relationship is asserted. The scope and form of any partnership are settled directly with the partner.
Licensing and Commercial Collaboration
Because the rights in this work are held by Ayangil, licensing and other commercial collaboration may be arranged directly, without recourse to a third-party rights holder.
The work is open to licensing for broadcast, distribution, synchronisation, and related uses, and to other suitable commercial collaboration. Terms are settled case by case; none is published here, and no licence, distribution agreement, or sponsorship arrangement is claimed to be in force.
Rights
All rights relating to the Uyan Ey Gözlerim project belong to Ayangil.
Source and provenance
The repertoire and attribution described on this page follow the Ayangil archive's own documentation of the orchestra's work and of Ali Ufkî Bey's seventeenth-century collections. That the work is complete, fully produced, and publicly released, and that it is available on digital platforms, is published on the rights holder's direct confirmation; the Spotify link given on this page has been verified. Release dates, performer credits, repertoire listings, production details, and commercial terms are deliberately absent: none is established by the material held in the archive, and none is invented for this page.
