Choral composition put worker possibly on edge (6)

I believe the answer is:
anthem
'choral composition' is the definition.
'anthem' can be an answer for 'composition' (anthem is a kind of musical composition). I am not sure about the 'choral' bit.
'worker possibly on edge' is the wordplay.
'worker possibly' becomes 'ant' (type of ant).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'edge' becomes 'hem' (a hem is an edge on a piece of cloth).
'ant'+'hem'='ANTHEM'
'put' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anthem that I've seen before include "One for doomed youth" , "Hymn of loyalty" , "Song in praise of a nation" , "Church choral piece" , "Song of praise or loyalty" .)
