Role reprisal
What does it mean to "reprise a role" in a movie or play? I see this term regularly used to mean "played a character from one production in another production, or in another episode of the same production." However, I cannot find a dictionary definition anywhere. --DAW0001 (talk) 20:32, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Cut & paste?
The citation of Stein 2005 seems to show that this text was just cut and pasted from someone's report that had citations listed. The citations were apparently not carried over. Macetw (talk) 13:29, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

List the Rock Reprises
I was wondering if someone could list all of the known rock reprises on albums in a list box or just in bullet form. It looks terrible garbled in that one paragraph. I would do it but I don't know how. (70.55.226.3 (talk) 14:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC))

Yes's "We Haven Heaven"
"We Heaven Heaven" is a song on Yes's famous album Fragile and when the song ends it sounds like a door is shut. After the song "Heart Of The Sunrise" a sound of a door opening is heard and "We Have Heaven" has a reprise. I think this reprise is important enough to be listed. --Mrmoustache14 (talk) 00:47, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Rush's "Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres"
"Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres" from Rush's album Hemispheres contains slight reprises of Book I from A Farewell to Kings in the part titled "V: "Cygnus": Bringer of Balance". They may be very brief reprises but they are still notable due to it being continuous with the story and brings a kind of "closure" to both pieces. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinciryan (talk • contribs) 01:03, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

 * The Grateful Dead Frequently used "reprise" in several songs during their live shows. Extensive touring of over 30 years helped them pioneer this technique, which is difficult to get right. Playing in the Band often would be used as a jumping off point to a jam and several other tunes. Often played in the 2nd set it would sum up a suite of songs with a "Playing in the Band reprise", sometimes after 6-7 consecutive songs. Another form of this would be "The Other One" where the band would play the first section of the song and use it as a jumping off point for a jam. After the jam resolved it would often lead into other Dead tunes and at some point they would work their way back into a jam and go back into "The Other One".
 * Here is an example of a typical set set list of Dead songs from Grateful Dead Hartford Civic Center May 28, 1977 (a ">" indicates a seamless transition from one song to another): Estimated Prophet> Playin' in the Band> Terrapin Station> Not Fade Away> Wharf Rat> Playin' in the Band(Reprise)


 * One of the Phish epic songs "Tweezer" is commonally played at the end of the same set or in the encore of the same show in a shorter funkier version called "Tweezer Reprise" or Twee-prise in slang. Both songs can be found on the album A Picture of Nectar.
 * Another example is Pink Floyd and their album The Dark Side of the Moon; the track "Breathe" is the second part of the first track on the album and its basic melodic structure is used as a coda for the song "Time", albeit with different lyrics. This is listed as "Breathe Reprise" on several lyrics booklets.
 * Yet another example is the Eagles song "Doolin-Dalton/Desperado" at the end of their 1974 album Desperado.
 * Triumph's album Rock 'N' Roll Machine featured the song "Street Fighter" and the more mellow "Street Fighter (Reprise)".
 * The Offspring's 1994 album Smash has a reprise of their "Come Out and Play" that can be heard at the end of the final track of the album. It is also appears as an "acoustic reprise" on the CD version of the single.
 * On the Dave Matthews Band album Before These Crowded Streets a reprise of the third track, "The Last Stop", can be heard at the end of the final track of the album.
 * Also from the Dave Matthews Band, the song "Lie In Our Graves" has had past live performances of the song where the end was cut. There were a handful of shows in 2007 where the end was played later in the show, thus having the band play a reprise of the song.  The end of the song is often confused as a reprise by people who do not understand the definition of the word.
 * The ska punk band Sublime has a reprise of their "What I Got" on the 16th track of their self-titled 3rd album.
 * Dream Theater's sixth studio album Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence has "About to Crash" and its reprise: "About to Crash (Reprise)".
 * Anastacia's 2nd album Freak of Nature features "Overdue Goodbye" and its reprise: "Overdue Goodbye (Reprise)".
 * Oasis's 3rd album Be Here Now contains a instrumental reprise of "All Around The World" as the closing track, where a longer version with vocals appears earlier in the album.
 * In Pearl Jam's eighth album Pearl Jam, the song "Life Wasted" is modified and added as "Wasted Reprise".
 * In the 2007 album Soundboy Rock by Groove Armada, the track "What's Your Version?" is given a reprise.
 * On Yes's * 1971 album Fragile The song We Have Heaven has a reprise at the end of the song Heart of the Sunrise.
 * The punk band NOFX in their 2006 album Wolves in Wolves' Clothing had a reprise of the song "60%" entitled "60% (Reprise)".
 * The Queens of the Stone Age song "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" from their 2000 album Rated R was given a reprise.
 * The Prodigy also included a reprise of their song "Omen" on their album Invaders Must Die.
 * Local H performs a reprise on their new album 12 Angry Months. They begin with the song "The One With 'Kid'", and at the end of the last track "Hand To Mouth" the intro to "The One With 'Kid'" is played again.
 * Pantera's album The Great Southern Trendkill opens with the title track and ends with the song "Sandblasted Skin (Reprise)", the latter revisits the theme of trends viewed in the title track at the beginning of the album.
 * In 30 Seconds to Mars' album This Is War, the same choir appears throughout the album.
 * In Pete Namlook's album Air V - Jeux Dangereux, the track 2 is the title track and the album finishes with "Jeux Dangereux (Reprise)".
 * The Second side of Men Without Hats' album Rhythm of Youth begins with "The Great Ones Remember" and closes with "Great Ones Remember (Reprise)".
 * The Pet Shop Boys used a reprise of Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money) on their 1986 album Please, entitled "Opportunities (reprise).
 * The fourth studio album, Full of Elevating Pleasures by Japanese Industrial Rock band Boom Boom Satellites, features the track "Anthem (Reprise)" as the 10th track.
 * In Tally Hall's album, "Good and Evil", the song, "A Lady" is a reprise of the album's second track, "&."

 * Although I don't agree that simple track listings need citations, this is a huge frickin' list and doesn't need to be in the article. BTW, not only does "Time" lead to "Breathe (Reprise)" on Dark Side of the Moon, but the later track, "Any Colour You Like", is structurally a second reprise of "Breathe", albeit modulated from D to C (or, from E-minor-to-A-major repeating endlessly, to D-minor-to-G-major doing so.) Anyone tempted to write this off as coincidence (after all, ii-V progressions are very common in music; "The Great Gig in the Sky", from the same album, is not necessarily a reprise of "Breathe", though it repeats a ii-V in F) should be advised that the unique ending sequence is also a modulated version of the one in "Breathe", as well. This has probably been mentioned somewhere else, anyway.

Reverse reprise?
Is there a name for the opposite of a reprise? I.e., instead of playing the full-length song first and a shortened version later, in a reverse reprise the shortened version would be played earlier in the work with the full-length one later.

A possible example in rock would be Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick In The Wall”. Of the 3 parts, part II is considered to be the definitive one (it is the longest, was the only one released as a single and receives the most radio play). Part I would be the opposite of a reprise (whatever that’s called) and Part III would be a normal reprise. 2600:1014:B047:CFA4:6952:240F:75FD:BD85 (talk) 20:13, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
