AFAIK 15 AOE means a circle with a territory of 15. 
That gives us 15=Pi*r^2 => r=sqrt(15/Pi)~=2.185

 The problem is, apparently nobody (maybe not even the devs) knows exactly how the affected squares are chosen - I don't think it's "the 15 closest to the caster, breaking ties randomly in a uniform way".

 Not true.  Somewhere, Kristoffer put out a digram for what spells squares are affected in an area affect spell.  I noted that the distribution was VERY peculiar.
There is very little chance that the tunes will work at range 2 (due to being overwritten) and only a moderate chance when used perfectly.
The *best* use, is with a high HP or high awe guy, right in the middle of the enemy.  Preferaby with some regen going on.
So for example a carrion dragon, with awe-9/10 Nature 9.
