Memorable German is in mixed choir (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

historic

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

'memorable' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'german is in mixed choir' is the wordplay.
'german' becomes 'ist' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'is in' is an insertion indicator.
'mixed' indicates an anagram.
'choir' with letters rearranged gives 'horic'.
'ist' inserted inside 'horic' is 'HISTORIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for historic that I've seen before include "Pertaining to what is important in the past" , "Choir sit (anag.)" , "Momentous, noteworthy" , "sort of present" , "Connecting with old times" .)
