A through-composed song sets each stanza of a poem to a different new melody. Characteristically, dramatic or narrative poems whose content develops are chosen.
Unlike strophic songs, in which each lyrical stanza uses the same melody, through-composed songs are composed continuously without repeating the same melody. In this style, music expresses the development of the poem’s content alongside it; Schubert’s “Erlkönig” is especially famous.
通作歌曲（つうさくかきょく）とは、詩の各節ごとに異なる新しい旋律が付けられる歌曲です。詩の内容が発展していくような、劇的または物語風な詩が選ばれるのが特徴です。
歌詞の各節を同じ旋律で歌う有節歌曲と異なり、通作歌曲では同じ旋律を繰り返さずに通して作曲されます。音楽が詩の内容の発展をともに表現するスタイルで、シューベルトの『魔王』が特に有名です。
