Arrange song for the people (3)
I believe the answer is:
lay
'arrange' is the definition.
(I know that arrange is a more specific form of the action lay)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lay that I've seen before include "Song-ballad" , "Secular; set" , "Not ordained; song" , "Not a religious" , "Set (table)" .)
