musical repertoire

Performer's song collection

Musical repertoire is the collection of pieces a performer, ensemble, or institution is prepared to perform.

A pianist's repertoire might emphasize Romantic composers; an opera company's repertoire includes works they regularly stage.

The term also describes the body of works within a genre or tradition: the jazz repertoire, the standard repertoire for violin.

Building repertoire is central to a musician's development.
