Struggling with the following:
19d "Late summer arrival in Amazon dropping a note" (7) V ? R ? O ? N

40a "Take us on a tour of in mediaeval music" (9)
C ? N ? U ? T ? S

47a "Bends, about to sever joint of meat" (7)
C ? I ? A ? E

Any help greatly appreciated

Conduct Us?

Chine joint +ca - about - chicane- bends?

Virgoan? Virago +n? Late summer arival?

Is that a 9 letter word?

It is 7 and the answer given below is correct

Thanks very much for this help.

One final question; for 51a "Lose control as parking on a carriageway" (9) I've got
A ? U ? P ? A ? E which, if right so far, seems only to give AQUAPLANE, but I don't see how the "lose control" bit fits.

Again, any help appreciated

If you lose control of your car e.g. on ice, you aquaplane ?
