For example, let's say you are in an all-guy singing group and you have a tenor singing the melody in A. You might want the baritone to sing the 3rd above, adding a rich tone above the melody, and another tenor to sing the 5th below the melody.
Sometimes having the baritone below the melody creates a big hole in your blend, especially if you have two tenors singing the melody and the 3rd or 5th above.
