Giving title to big Lennon composition (9)

I believe the answer is:

ennobling

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

'giving title' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'big lennon composition' is the wordplay.
'composition' is an anagram indicator.
'big'+'lennon'='biglennon'
'biglennon' with letters rearranged gives 'ENNOBLING'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ennobling that I've seen before include "Making one count, perhaps" , "Entitling" , "Honouring" .)
