Mix gin and slap on some Monk tunes (9)
I believe the answer is:
plainsong
'mix gin and slap on some monk tunes' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'mix gin and slap on some' is the wordplay.
'mix' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and').
'some' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'on' is 'o'.
'gin'+'n'+'slap'+'o'='ginnslapo'
'ginnslapo' with letters rearranged gives 'PLAINSONG'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plainsong that I've seen before include "sacred music" , "Liturgical chant" , "Mediaeval church music" , "accompanied vocal music? No" , "Lied, perhaps" .)
