The Kentucky project is a musical work, Three Songs, that celebrates Southern gospel music and its part, over the past one hundred years, in the history of South Central Kentucky. Composer Depp Britt, Jr., directed a choir of community singers. A demonstration of shaped note singing, as taught in the old singing schools, was part of the program. The premiere took place on July 4, 2000, in the renovated Tabernacle that was built in 1897 and is still used to this day for singing.
