I believe the answer is:

satiate

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

'give all that's required' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'a tenor welcomed by french composer' is the wordplay.
'tenor' becomes 't'.
'welcomed by' is an insertion indicator (letters welcomed inside).
'french composer' becomes 'satie' (French composer Erik Satie, 1866-1925).
'a'+'t'='at'
'at' inserted within 'satie' is 'SATIATE'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satiate that I've seen before include "content" , "Fill to satisfaction" , "Have more than enough" , "Gratify fully" , "Overfill - gorge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
