Whomever can sing it better. Really.

It's usually June, certainly.

But I assume dramamama is also right: if Louise can hit the notes better, she gets them.

As above posters have said, yes, it’s typically June; however, music directors often have discretion and may switch harmonies around between actors if necessary.
