Music Box by composer Kyle Axford is a short, imaginative piece designed to encompass all the pitches in an octave, symbolizing the self-contained nature of a music box. It opens with the "lid" being lifted, unfolds into a lyrical central melody evoking a ballerina's dance, and closes as the "lid" shuts and the music fades.

Originally composed for solo piano, it has been arranged for trumpet ensemble to create an immersive antiphonal experience, with performers placed in a square surrounding the audience. The work is moderate in difficulty and suitable for intermediate to advanced performers.
