Actually, a quick search over at Dictionary.com looking up the word 
"effect"
reveals the following.  Note that none of the entries below specifically
mentions music.  The words usefulness may come from its very ambiguity.

Also, on the subject of George Orwell, he was interested in how language 
was
used by people with political power, or put another way, how it was used 
for
political effect.  He was not a linguist or a grammarian.  He was a
political writer and novelist with a broad knowledge of English literature
and a pessimistic view of human nature.
