I've never been sure about the Sentinel. Does the music wake the Sentinel, which then goes out and fights? Or does the water power the Sentinel, which plays the music, which then inspires the Muds to go out and fight?

Apparently, the Song Engine is literally a wooden mecha.
From what the book says, the music doesn't really awaken the Song Engine, since it still plays while it's dormant (driven by water power, of course). I guess it's powered by the spiritual energy given by its awakening ritual, which also gets the drums and chimes to play on their own (unless there's some kind of pilot for that).
