A trill is a musical ornament that consists of a rapid alternation between two adjacent notes, the written note and the upper auxiliary (note above). The two notes that alternate are usually a semitone or tone apart and are commonly diatonic (from the scale or key) but can also be chromatic. Trills start on the beat regardless of what note they begin with. Trills were also known as a shake from the 16th century until the early 20th century. Other names for trills were triller (german), trillo (Italian), trille (French), or trino (Spanish). Be careful with terminology, for example, trillo can mean something slightly different for early music vocalists.

What do trills do to the music? Trills can provide a number of musical results ranging from being decorative, melodically interesting, rhythmically interesting to adding dissonant tension in the harmony. They are sometimes notated in the score but also added at the performers discretion. Although they are ornamental and less important than the primary musical line, they can have a significant impact on the music.
