'common time' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'duets orchestrated always' is the wordplay.
'orchestrated' indicates an anagram (arranged, as music).
'always' becomes 'ay' (archaic term for 'always').
'duets' anagrammed gives 'tuesd'.
'tuesd'+'ay'='TUESDAY'

'in' is the link.
