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.

Description
This photocopy of “Come Little Fishes” is a second act song from the 1911 Herbert operetta, The Enchantress. Written in 1911, with lyrics by Harry B. Smith, this operetta concerns seven princesses falling all over themselves to get noticed by a single, eligible Prince. As is often the case, there is always the one woman who can attract that same man with a lift of her delicate little finger. Sung by Vivien, the Enchantress, this song offers the best advice on how to handle the opposite sex. This work is written in the key of G major with a range from D to G – your basic soprano range.
