Alamoth

Alamoth ăl´əmōth [key], in the Bible, musical term, unknown in meaning, although some have guessed soprano, connecting it with a word for maidens. It occurs in First Chronicles and in the title of Psalm 46. The term Sheminith, in the titles of Psalms 6 and 12, has been explained as bass, complementary to Alamoth.
