    There are several threads over on the Dunsire site (just Google 'Brigadoon, pipe tunes, Dunsire') covering this topic.

    The general consensus is the play (and the film, for that matter) doesn't utilize any actual pipe tunes, per se. Lerner and Lowe composed some music for the pipes, but it's difficult to memorize. Many pipers use a series of 6/8's or other upbeat tunes for the wedding scene and Lord Lovat's Lament (played slower than usual) for the funeral scene.
