The key to discovering how to do this is \displayMusic.  Compile

\displayMusic { <a c >2 }

in LilyPond and the Scheme equivalent is shown in the console log.

In this case it is:

(make-music
 'SequentialMusic
 'elements
 (list (make-music
         'EventChord
         'elements
         (list (make-music
                 'NoteEvent
                 'duration
                 (ly:make-duration 1 0 1 1)
                 'pitch
                 (ly:make-pitch -1 5 0))
               (make-music
                 'NoteEvent
                 'duration
                 (ly:make-duration 1 0 1 1)
                 'pitch
                 (ly:make-pitch -1 0 0))))))
