Still, it seemed like in all three cases (definately the first two) the enemy troops were within range 15 by the time the song spells were scripted to kick in.

ha!
The error is (nearly) always in front of the computer
The songs have range of "0" squares, but 15 areas of effect.
This means the effect hits 15 areas around the caster - what is
very unlikely to include one 15 squares away.
How the distribution is calculated is not fully known AFAIK, but I would guess it works similar to a 15-area fear or cold aura effect, but only temporary. There's some information about the working of (fear) auras by one of the devs which sheds some light on the distribution of effects, but I wasn't able to dig it up again.
However, you can safely assume the songs have a 'effective' range of 1-3 squares.
PS: use Pans to cast those spell songs ..
