Plainchant in service (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evensong

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

This might be a double definition.

'plainchant' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'service' is the second definition.
(type of church service)

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for evensong that I've seen before include "6 [SERVICE] ?" , "Service of evening prayer in Church of England" , "Religious service" , "Church service late in the day" , "Vespers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
