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.
She’s A Very Dear Friend of Mine

Description
A photocopy of the comic “She’s a Very Dear Friend of Mine” comes from the 1904 musical comedy, It Happened in Nordland, which opened the brand new Lew Fields Theatre built by Oscar Hammerstein I. 1904 was also the year Longacre Square was renamed Times Square. The song was sung by actress Marie Cahill as the character Katherine Peepfogel, the American Ambassadress to the country of Nordland. It appears she is also the spitting image of that country’s Queen Elsa. Though you’ll see here that she’s not really much of a diplomatic expert herself! The song is in the key of G Major, ranges from D to A♭ (only once). Could be sung by almost any female vocal range.
