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.
