A tenor arrangement is over-elaborate (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ornate

'over-elaborate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a tenor arrangement' is the wordplay.
'arrangement' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'tenor'='atenor'
'atenor' anagrammed gives 'ORNATE'.

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for ornate that I've seen before include "Lavishly decorated" , "Excessively decorated" , "Rococo" , "Heavily decorated" , "Over-decorated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
