I think Rita is right with this. I do believe that giving solos to different people is good. However, it is determined by the people. If there is a low demand for a solo and it calls for one you just have to make due with what you have. So what I am trying to say is if you have lets say five solos in your choir's song set and you only have three people that can or want to do solos. You almost will to double up on some. But also I do not think you will ever have a shortage of people wanting to do solos. If I had a shortage of people wanting to do solos I would do my best to encourage others to step forward and give it a try. Of course how many times have you had a shortage of people wanting to sing solos.

I think that it is important to have diversity in who sings solos in a choir. It is important that not only one person receives solos. That could be very bad for the moral of the choir. I think that solos should be given to those who are talented, but also that the type of voice for the style should be one of the most important factors. I also agree with Kevin, I have never known a choir that had a shortage of soloists. I know from my experience that even if someone gives off the impression that they would not like a solo they really do. I think it is important to give everyone a fair chance and not just pick favorites. When one person is being showcased and has all of the solos then it is basically like a recital with backup singers, and not a choir.
