I've been composing music for over 30 years, have done a bit of commercial work, and have scored two feature-length films. I have written a number of pieces for full orchestra, some of which have been performed live. I will actually have a short piece premiered at the Kennedy Center in July. |

What is an 'alt' chord? As in Bbalt? How is it spelled out? (Like 1,3,5, etc...) |

The term "alt chord" is generally used with jazz music. It means chords with tones that are not in the scale usually associated with that chord (i.e., a note has been "altered" from the scale). It usually refers to altering the 5th, 9th, 11th, or 13th of a chord (most usually the 5th or 9th). A Bb-alt would be either Bb, D, F# (augmented chord) or Bb, D, Fb (b5 chord). |

Thank you! That's a lot better description than anything I've found by searching. |

I'm not a jazz musician, so my application of these things is mostly theoretical. The melody sometimes actually creates the alteration while the harmony simply omits the note. In some cases, the melody and harmony may disagree all together... it really depends on what you're doing; jazz is a funny thing. |
