Repertoire for College Orchestras by Contemporary and Women Composers

The 2018 CODA Repertoire Survey queried members about their top choices for contemporary (post-1960) repertoire and repertoire composed by women that is appropriate for college orchestra based on three categories of program size: Small, Medium, and Large.  Therefore, this data should be applicable to any and all college orchestra programs, regardless of size or ability. 

Below you will find spreadsheets of all the repertoire suggested in the 2018 survey, including comments by CODA conductors regarding the technical challenges and overall impressions of each piece:
