TREMOLO

n. trembling or vibrating sound (Music)

This article is about the musical term. For the My Bloody Valentine album, see Tremolo (EP). Tremolo is a musical term with several meanings:A regular and repetitive variation in amplitude for the duration of a single note; this is the most common meaning.A regular and rapid repetition of a single note, which is scored as a single note, and particularly used on bowed string instruments, the balalaika and plectrum instruments such as the mandolin family. On these latter instruments it is more often called a trill, but on electronic organ stops imitating these instruments it is generally called tremolo. In classical and flamenco guitar, tremolo refers to the technique of playing a bass line on top of a treble line consisting of rapidly repeating notes, often over a chord (i.e., with the same treble note over and over), although tremolos can become very complex. The effect is of two separate instruments playing the bass and treble lines, respectively.A regular and rapid alternation between two notes, which is scored as a trill.A roll on any tuned or untuned percussion instrument.A variation in pitch, slow or rapid, during the duration of a note. These techniques are more normally called portamento and vibrato.
