Get up, when music finally reaches conclusion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascend

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'get up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'music finally reaches conclusion' is the wordplay.
'music' becomes 'c'.
'finally' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters go at the end of others).
'reaches' becomes 'as' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'conclusion' becomes 'end' (something's conclusion is its end).
'c' put after 'as' is 'asc'.
'asc'+'end'='ASCEND'

'when' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ascend that I've seen before include "Mount" , "shift to a higher plane" , "Make the top" , "Take off" , "Scale" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
