Dance tunes made with snippet of Verdi score (5)
I believe the answer is:
disco
'dance tunes' is the definition.
(dance music)
'snippet of verdi score' is the wordplay.
'snippet of' indicates a hidden word.
'DISCO' is hidden within 'verdi score'.
'made with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for disco that I've seen before include "Music genre - dance venue" , "Club with dancing to recorded music" , "Public dance hall with recorded music" , "'Genre of dance music, popular in the 1970s (5)'" , "Demonic spirit" .)
