Victor Herbert wrote hundreds of songs both located within theatrical works (operetta, musical comedy and opera). Over the years we have found the best way to organize individual songs is by voice. Hopefully you know your range so look for songs in your range category.
The other very important detail is that all of these songs are in their original key. Herbert wrote for particular singers 100% of the time. He was not happy with the wrong voice attempting to change the key of a song to fit a certain voice. We are not the web site to be exploring if you want to change a particular key so you can sing. (Example: Capt Dick in Naughty Marietta was written as a high tenor; Herbert would never have allowed Nelson Eddy or Alfred Drake to sing any of Capt. Dick’s or Adah’s songs for that matter.)
If you explore the Internet, you will find people to transpose any song for you. Just stop looking here.
All Men Have Their Troubles

Description
This is a photocopy of “All Men Have Their Troubles,” another rare Herbert melody for a bass. We are fairly certain you are not very familiar with The Viceroy produced in February of 1900 with lyrics by Harry B. Smith. The most interesting thing about this musical comedy is that it was the fourth Herbert production to open between September of 1899 and February of 1900. That is four brand new productions in six months! Herbert certainly celebrated the turn of the century in grand style and then he stopped writing until the 1903 Babes In Toyland. The key signature is G Major (bass cleft) with a range from D to F♯ above middle C. The song is sung by Corleone, the Captain of the Militia in Sicily, who has a rather strange desire.
