Compositions of cycle clubs in Orient all over the place (8)
I believe the answer is:
concerti
'compositions' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'cycle clubs in orient all over the place' is the wordplay.
'cycle' becomes 'c' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'all over the place' indicates anagramming the letters.
'orient' anagrammed gives 'onerti'.
'c' going inside 'onerti' is 'oncerti'.
'c'+'oncerti'='CONCERTI'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for concerti that I've seen before include "Musical pieces with soloists" , "Music" , "Instrumental compositions with solo parts" , "Orchestral pieces featuring solo instrument(s)" , "Works for soloist/orchestra" .)
