Cornet piece arranged for male voice (5)
I believe the answer is:
tenor
'male voice' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tenor that I've seen before include "Pitch range" , "Highest male voice" , "Big bell" , "Male singer with high register" , "General drift or meaning" .)
