High pitch of latest composition (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

falsetto

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

'high pitch' is the definition.
'falsetto' can be an answer for 'pitch' (I have seen 'Artificial pitch' mean 'falsetto' so perhaps 'pitch' could also mean 'falsetto'). I am unsure of the 'high' bit.

'of latest composition' is the wordplay.
'composition' is an anagram indicator (letters arranged or composed in a different order).
'of'+'latest'='oflatest'
'oflatest' with letters rearranged gives 'FALSETTO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for falsetto that I've seen before include "High singing method" , "Forcedly high voice" , "Artificial pitch" , "High-pitched male voice" , "Abnormally high voice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
