Renaissance composer producing sound of kiwi, say? (4)
I believe the answer is:
byrd
'renaissance composer' is the definition.
'byrd' can be an answer for 'composer' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'renaissance' bit.
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for byrd that I've seen before include "polar explorer" , "Prolific scorer" , "Composer of church music" , "Old scorer" , "Richard -, US aviator (first flight over North pole)" .)
