gamut
Complete range covered
Gamut is the complete range or scope of something: the whole gamut of human emotions, Her music runs the gamut from folk to electronica.
The word comes from medieval music theory, where it named the full range of notes.
To run the gamut is to cover an entire spectrum from one extreme to another.
