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.


A popular Riphean folk instrument is the ''kautil'', a 7 string harp resembling the Finnish kantele but with movable bridges.
Vocal and choral music is extremely popular in Riphea, so much so that Riphea is often called "vėnjecema" (the land of song). 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.

==Influence==
Riphean musical styles have influenced music all over Irta. Riphean instruments and scales are adapted in parts of Irta America which have a strong Riphean diaspora.
Places outside Europe with Riphean diasporas are usually influenced by post-Internalist Riphean music. Pre-Internalist Riphean influences are more likely to show up in Irta European music, with composers often writing Riphean rhapsodies, such as the ones by Sebastja Humja and Abigail Drockva.
