Songs of sunrise demanded in Australia (7)
I believe the answer is:
aubades
'songs of sunrise' is the definition.
(aubades are music for the early morning)
'demanded in australia' is the wordplay.
'demanded' becomes 'bade' (as bade is the past tense of bid).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'australia' becomes 'aus' (abbreviation).
'bade' placed into 'aus' is 'AUBADES'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
