Background

Rybak had been wanting to write a musical for a long time.[1] The children's book was released in November 2015, alongside an album with songs that added to the storyline.[2]

Rybak wrote all the melodies by himself, except for the melody of "Stjerner vår", which he took from a composition by his father Igor Rybak.

Critical reception

Trolle og den magiske fela was met with favourable reviews in Norway. Dagbladet gave it a 5 on the dice, while Aftenposten wrote that it was "a superb new adventure story that together with the music becomes a great cultural experience. The author calls the book partly autobiographical, but many children may recognize themselves in little Trolle".[3]

gollark: As a new mRNA strand is generated by the action of the RNA polymerase II machinery on a stretch of DNA, it gets a “cap” attached to the end that’s coming out from the DNA (the “5-prime” end), a special nucleotide (7-methylguanosine) that’s used just for that purpose. But don’t get the idea that the new mRNA strand is just waving in the nucleoplasmic breeze – at all points, the developing mRNA is associated with a whole mound of specialized RNA-binding proteins that keep it from balling up on itself like a long strand of packing tape, which is what it would certainly end up doing otherwise.
gollark: You ARE to produce macron.
