music repertoire

Performer's prepared pieces

Music repertoire is the collection of pieces a performer, ensemble, or composer is prepared to perform or has performed.

A violinist's repertoire might include concertos and sonatas; an orchestra's repertoire spans symphonies and overtures.

The term implies familiarity and readiness: That aria isn't in her repertoire yet.

Repertoire can also describe the range of skills or techniques someone commands.
