Stirring music from Far East cool at first (7)
I believe the answer is:
fanfare
'stirring music' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'far east cool at first' is the wordplay.
'east' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'cool' becomes 'fan' (fan can mean to cool down).
'at first' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'far'+'e'='fare'
'fare' after 'fan' is 'FANFARE'.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fanfare that I've seen before include "Naff era (anag)" , "Short ceremonial tune for trumpets" , "Flourish of trumpets" , "Ceremonial trumpet flourish" , "Brass flourish" .)
