[Lingtyp] Correlation between trills and pitch

[JOO Ian]

Dear typologists,

When I was practicing singing with my choir, I noticed that it's much harder to articulate trills (bilabials or alveolar, neither of which is in my native lect) when the pitch goes up.
Is there any articulatory correlation between trill articulation and pitch, and if so, is it phonologically reflected in any lect? (For example, restricted distribution of high tones on syllables with trills?)

From Otaru,
Ian
