Are you sure about the three octave thing?  For a baritone voice  the E 
above middle C is usually the highest note you'll see in choral music 
and the lowest note is somewhere between the E and G in the octave below 
the C below middle C.  It's more or less the range between high and low 
strings on a guitar in standard tuning. Operatic arias will stretch it a 
bit, particularly on the high end.
