Why are most choir solos written for sopranos when there are 4 sections?

    I think that the writer of the music thinks that sopranos would fit better into the song.

    Well at least in my choir the sopranos have the strongest voices so they get the most solo opportunities.

    It depends on the type of choral work and the preference of the composer. Contemporary choral works may frequently offer solo opportunities for the soprano voice, however, many classical choral works offer equal solo opportunities for soprano, alto, tenor and bass.
