Turned out duo slept through closing music (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

postlude

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

'closing music' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'turned out duo slept' is the wordplay.
'turned out' is an anagram indicator (turn out can mean to organise).
'duo'+'slept'='duoslept'
'duoslept' with letters rearranged gives 'POSTLUDE'.

'through' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for postlude that I've seen before include "Afterword" , "epilogue" , "Concluding music piece" , "Used plot (anag) - final piece" , "Work" .)
