| Riphean music is based on folk songs called ''stērvėnje'' (literally "old song"). A famous stērvėnje is "Wexraskaunipe" (Evening Beauty), which has been set to music several times by Riphean composers. During the Nōje Niđjaste ("New Self-ness") artistic renaissance there was a revival of Riphean folk elements in the arts and music.

Choral composition is a very rich tradition and many public figures in Riphea are also choral composers and songwriters, an example being the current prime minister of Riphea, Wėnima Retaszūnu.
