I think Melkor had a free choice, and also that everything sung by the Ainur - even by Melkor - would be included in Ilúvatar's grand design. It's just that Ilúvatar, being the grand-ol-man of gods, is so beyond us in power and depth of mind that he is able to turn Melkor's dischords into 'good' whether Melkor likes it or not.
