I believe the correct answer is: song cycle.
The collection of art songs, unified
by poet, narrative, musical style, or composer are called song cycle or program
music for instrumental music associated with story, poem, idea, or scene. First
song cycle was “Il Canzoniere” or “Rime Sparse” written by Italian humanist
poet Francesco Petrarca to his belove Laura.
