A feeling of calm arising from featured material, intended to be played aloud (11)
I believe the answer is:
contentment
'a feeling' is the definition.
(contentment is a kind of feeling)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for contentment that I've seen before include "pleasure" , "peace of mind" , "Satisfied state" , "Comfort" , "Satisfaction" .)
