Topic: Brigadoon, Western Australia


  
  Brigadoon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brigadoon is a musical by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, first produced in 1947.
The fictional name "Brigadoon" appears to constructed from the Gaelic words: briga which means "strife", and dùn which means "hill, hill fort, or hill village." The name may also be a reference to the Celtic Goddess Brigid, as in "Brigid's Hill."
Meanwhile, the men have returned to town, where Meg is telling about the day her parents were drunkenly married ("My Mother's Wedding Day"), and the townsfolk begin to relax and dance again, until the sound of the Highland Pipes pierces the air.
