What is the original key to these following songs?

Question

Time was when Love and I from the sorcerer

Oh, Is There Not One maiden breast from Pirates of Penzance

None Shall Part us from Iolanthe

If You give me your attention from Princess Ida

When the Night Wind Howls from Ruddigore

Is Life a Boon? from The yeomen of the guard

Name a few if you do know. I happen to have a songbook that transpose all the keys down and I don't know what key they're supposed to be in.

Answer 1

I don't memorize what key things are in, unless I have personally studied that piece for a long long time. Usually I never remember keys. Try www.sheetmusicplus.com and see if you can view the first page of some of those to see the key they are in.  Then that may give you some ideas. You could also try a local university library that has sheet music in it, and look up those pieces to see the keys.
