Composition from compiler following article (5)
I believe the answer is:
theme
'composition' is the definition.
('theme' can be a synonym of 'composition')
'compiler following article' is the wordplay.
'compiler' becomes 'me' (the person who is writing these clues).
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'article' becomes 'the' (the 'definite article' part of speech).
'me' put after 'the' is 'THEME'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for theme that I've seen before include "Short melody" , "Burden" , "The main sound" , "notedly subject to variation" , "Thread, melody" .)
