Haven't Met You Yet: SA (Opt. Bass/Alto) Choral Octavo

Ben Perry's arrangement captures the warmth and infectious optimism of this contemporary hit while keeping the vocal writing genuinely singable for treble voices. The optional bass/alto part gives you real flexibility for mixed ensembles without forcing anyone into an uncomfortable range, and the included chord symbols mean your guitarist doesn't need a separate lead sheet.

Buoyant and romantic, with the easy charm of someone who's genuinely delighted to meet someone special. The arrangement preserves the original's conversational warmth; it never tries to be clever or overcomplicated, letting the melody and the emotional directness of the lyric do the heavy lifting.

Upper elementary through adult choirs looking for contemporary material that feels fresh without being inaccessible. Small school groups, community choirs, and youth ensembles will all find the straightforward two-part writing (with optional third part) manageable while the pop idiom keeps singers engaged.

• Balance the melody prominently in the sopranos while letting the altos provide harmonic anchor; this arrangement shines when the two parts are equally confident rather than soprano-heavy.
• If adding rhythm section (guitar, bass, drums), use the chord symbols as your starting point but let the piano accompaniment guide you through any sections where the harmony gets interesting.
• Keep the tempo conversational and relaxed; this song thrives on a natural, almost spoken-word quality in the verses before opening up in the chorus.

This works beautifully as a contemporary pop feature for a spring or winter concert, especially if you're pairing it with jazz standards or other accessible pop material. It's also an effective engagement piece for community or fundraising events where audiences appreciate recognizable, feel-good music.
