Alnæs studied in Oslo with Iver Holter, in Leipzig with Carl Reinecke and in Berlin. He worked as an organist in Drammen from 1895 until 1907 and later as an organist og choirconductor in Oslo. He was one of the founders of the Norwegian Composers Association.

He composed two symphonies, Variations symphoniques, one pianoconcerto, pianopieces, choralpreludies for organ, choirpieces and songs in an late-romantic style. The best known of his romances are "De hundrede violiner" (The hundred violins) and "Der du gjekk fyre" (Where you walked before me). Beside those his "Julemotett" (Christmas-motett) is very often performed and many norwegian choirs perform this popular composition every Christmas.
