The following four settings are meant to be used together. They are designed to give more flexibility to small choirs with variable voice parts. For a full choir, sopranos sing the melody, tenors sing the parallel part, and altos sing the filler. Basses should always sing the bass. The other 3 voice parts can be given to any singers in either octave to accommodate the abilities of the choir. Keep in mind that the music will sound better without large gaps between the parts (eg. melody and parallel part as written with filler an octave lower) and that if voice parts need to be removed, the filler will be missed the least, and the melody, obviously, the most.
