Crossword Genius

Composer who made church music fashionable (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chopin

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

'composer' is the definition.
(Frederic Chopin)

'made church music fashionable' is the wordplay.
'made church music' becomes 'chop' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'fashionable' becomes 'in' (in can mean fashionable or trendy).
'chop'+'in'='CHOPIN'

'who' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chopin that I've seen before include "Double centenarian" , "Composer of mainly piano works" , "No chip on this composer's shoulder" , "Romantic figure" , "See 10" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
