All the composer required (5)
I believe the answer is:
tutti
'all' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tutti that I've seen before include "Musical instruction for all instruments to play" , "All performers (mus.)" , "Composer of Carmina Burana" , "With all instruments playing at once (music)" , "Instruction for all orchestral instruments to play together" .)
