Premise: A symphonic song cycle can either refer to a symphony composed of separate movements played consecutively or to a set of symphonic works linked by theme, common composer, or common conductor. A symphonic cycle should not be confused with the closely related song cycle.
Hypothesis: The terms symphonic cycle and song cycle refer to precisely the same things. They are, in fact, just two different terms for the exact same things, and many people are confused by this all the time.
