The result is an interlocking effect
Explanation:
It could be referring to the "interlocking effect" produced in many types of music, where different parts/instruments slot in with one another.
The paragraph below sheds light on the idea. Hope it helps!

"Mozart was unsurpassed at interlocking voices and instruments and at using the orchestra not simply to accompany but to give the gestures of drama, to articulate it — almost to the point of giving the stage director a dig in the ribs to tell him ‘this is what should be happening on stage"

interweaving of multiple voices


Explanation:
This is just a guess, given that the context is not at all clear. Assuming the phrase refers to the music itself, it could be describing the interplay of various parts of the score (instruments), but this is just a guess.
You might want to quote more of the surrounding text.
HTH,
