A different composer from Bach and Elgar (6)

I believe the answer is:

handel

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

'a different composer' is the definition.
'handel' can be an answer for 'composer' (George Frideric Handel). I'm not sure about the 'a different' bit.

'from bach and elgar' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'HANDEL' can be found hidden inside 'bach and elgar'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for handel that I've seen before include "Composer of the great ''Messiah''" , "German composer, lived in England" , "Sounds as if you could come to grips with this composer" , "German-born composer to the ` `Messiah' '" , "German baroque composer" .)
