Repertoire by work, duration and ensemble
The Index
The Index gathers the working repertoire of Amadeu de Oliveira. Every entry carries the real performing duration and the smallest ensemble required, and can be filtered by the moment the music enters — from the processional in church to the closing piece of a concert. It is the same list used by event organisers, technical directors and cultural programmers.
How to read it
Choose the moment; the list answers with works
Filter by moment of the day and by ensemble. Duration settles most production questions: a processional rarely exceeds three minutes, an offertory asks for four or five, and a concert closing carries ten.
Select the works you want and take them with you into the proposal request — they reach us identified, and the answer comes back written around them.

Questions
Questions we are asked about repertoire
Can I choose a work that is not in the Index?
Yes. The Index is the current working list, not the limit of the repertoire, which runs from Bach to the contemporary. A work outside the list needs lead time for study and a room rehearsal, and the proposal states that lead time explicitly.
Are the durations exact?
They are real performing durations, rounded to the half minute. They vary with the tempo chosen and with the acoustic of the room. For a moment on a fixed clock — a processional, the signing of the register — the work is adjusted in preparation to fit the time available.
What does 'minimum ensemble' mean?
It is the smallest ensemble in which the work still holds. Many works accept larger ones: a piece marked as solo organ can gain a soprano or a violin. The reverse is not true — a work written for ensemble cannot be reduced without losing what defines it.
What is the difference between the schools listed?
The school identifies each work's tradition of writing and performance: Iberian, German, French, Italian, Russian or Portuguese. It exists to build programmes with narrative coherence, instead of a sequence of well-known pieces with nothing between them.
Can you play contemporary music or film scores?
Yes, when it makes sense within the programme as a whole. The criterion is the same for all repertoire: the work has to survive being listened to attentively. Music that only functions as continuous background does not enter the Index, by choice.
