Perhaps Tomorrow

Music of Sally Greenaway

Upon a weathered bench surrounded by the browns, yellows, reds and oranges of late autumn sits an elderly couple hand in hand.

They trace the contours across their lifetime.

Shared memories;
Dementia is an inexplicable rust.

Perhaps Tomorrow is a poignant piece about dementia. It evokes the bittersweet challenges and sorrow that accompanies seeing a loved one's cognitive decline.

Composer Sally Greenaway wrote this in her first day studying at the Royal College of Music, London. The piece was later used by celebrated Australian film director John Frohlich for his award-winning short film Perhaps Tomorrow which explores dementia and it's affects through the lens of a retired couple.
