repertoire
Ready-to-perform pieces
Repertoire is the collection of works a performer or group is prepared to present—songs a singer knows, plays a theater company can stage, pieces an orchestra has rehearsed.
The word extends to any stock of skills or techniques someone has ready: a comedian's repertoire of impressions, a chef's repertoire of sauces.
In casual use, repertoire can simply mean range of abilities: Flattery isn't in his repertoire.
