Repeat “Company, stand!” (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reprise

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'repeat' is the definition.
(I know that repeat can be written as reprise)

'company stand' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'rep' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'stand' becomes 'rise' (I've seen this in another clue).
'rep'+'rise'='REPRISE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reprise that I've seen before include "Musical repetition" , "repeat performance" , "In music, a repeated song or passage" , "(Musically) a repeated passage" , "later musical statement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
