Composer unexpectedly paroled in his home (8,3)
I believe the answer is:
bachelor pad
'his home' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'composer unexpectedly paroled' is the wordplay.
'composer' becomes 'bach' (Johann Sebastian Bach).
'unexpectedly' is an anagram indicator.
'paroled' anagrammed gives 'elorpad'.
'bach'+'elorpad'='BACHELOR PAD'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bachelor pad that I've seen before include "Single male's home" , "Flat for a single man" , "Single person's flat" .)
