Time composer went ahead and journeyed (9)
I believe the answer is:
travelled
'journeyed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'time composer went ahead' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'composer' becomes 'ravel' (Maurice Ravel).
'went ahead' becomes 'led' (led the way).
't'+'ravel'+'led'='TRAVELLED'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for travelled that I've seen before include "was moving" , "Made a trip" , "Went on a journey" , "Journeyed" .)
