Abstract
Psychology encompasses artistic creativity in terms of people’s moods and behavior. In any case, artistic creations and practices reflect people’s psychological feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. In this respect, many musicians and composers have created musical works reflecting their moods during the global Covid-19 pandemic lockdown. Some scientists have even created musical works from the structure of the coronavirus. In this descriptive study, examples of musical creations during the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine are examined interdisciplinarily with the concepts emerging about COVID-19, using historical and critical methods with digital archive data. The aim of this study is to identify the concepts used by musicians and composers around the world in relation to Covid-19 and to examine how they expressed their emotional states through the musical works they created using these concepts. Descriptive data analysis identified eight interrelated concepts (Corona, Coronavirus, Covid-19, Isolation, Pandemic, Quarantine, Stay Home, and Vaccine). It has been revealed that in the example works representing these eight concepts, musicians and composers used music as a kind of psychotherapy during quarantine and reflected their moods through it.
