Just to pre-empt a mailbox full of 'My Top Ten Tunes To Have SAD To'...
Is what's being asked for here not people's *experience* of SAD, and
not their musical associations for it. Ms Pea will presumably be the
one who mediates such experience into music through her own semiotic
associations. I would say that a musician who seeks input to assist in
writing a piece of music doesn't want to hear about other bits of music
that people associate with their experience of SAD, but rather aboiut
the experience itself. Then they do the articulation.
From my (second-hand) understanding of this disorder, what stands out
is a description of a feeling of stasis, of lowness of spirit - a
disinclination to move or do anything that requires mental or physical
energy. Torpor is the word.
