'too many flourishes from a tenor?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'from a tenor?' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates an anagram (from the letters).
'a'+'tenor'='atenor'
'atenor' is an anagram of 'ORNATE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ornate that I've seen before include "Richly or elaborately decorated" , "Florid" , "Highly decorated" , "Over-decorated" , "(Of literary style) complex and with unusual words" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
