The L.A. Phil, under the baton of Susanna Mälkki, its principal guest conductor, gave a brilliant account of the score, but the staging failed to do justice to Sibelius's mercurially shifting moods, which range from kitschy sweetness to explosions of dissonance.

From that house, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, we watched the sky move mercurially between moods, sunrise and sunset, shifting from full-blast sunshine to muted purple-orange clouds that crept up near midnight as the sun dipped below the horizon.

With that in mind, Facebook should consider — especially if it continues to act as a type of governing body — adopting something like a constitution that is harder to amend that its ever-shifting content-moderation rules, which it could alter mercurially to get around decisions issued by its court that it doesn't like.

The Down Beat review by Bill Meyer says "this suite encompasses contemporary chamber music, ritualistic vocal incantations and harrowingly violent expressions of agitation. Strings clash, and woodwinds carve out eerie melodies against backdrops that shift mercurially from emptiness to elastic grooves to looming orchestral chasms."Meyer, Bill. Intergalactic Beings review.

When the man sees the narrator, he beckons to him. This makes the narrator worry and since he is about to miss the night train, he leaves the bar and the alley mercurially. At the last moment, the narrator hesitates as the man, with something silvery in his hands, determinedly enters the bar.

In his review for Allmusic, Jonathan Widran said, "the album swings mercurially from mood, paying strict homage at times but also reminding the listener that centuries have passed and it's time for new twists on the sacred. One's enjoyment will depend solely on his or her passion for tradition, but overall, for the adventurous, Plays Mozart is worth at least one test spin". On All About Jazz Troy Collins said, "Working in klezmer and Dixieland variations, as well as free jazz, psychedelic rock and even subtle electronica, Caine can seem mighty irreverent to the old guard. But he also contributes pieces of unflagging beauty and tenderness, proving his point that all forms (from the sacred to the profane) can exist on the same plane, if only one allows them".Collins, T., All About Jazz Review, February 7, 2007 JazzTimes's reviewer, Andrew Lindemann Malone, observed, "Caine’s playful deconstructions and augmentations deliver tons of delightful surprises".

The artist offered as an example of this an explication of the popular anthem "Ja Funmi" from Juju Music, an "instant classic" according to Afropop Worldwide which he plays at every show in spite of the vast body of work from which he might choose. Adé indicated that "Ja Funmi" is a common phrase meaning "Fight for me", adding: He concluded with an explicit explanation of the metaphor, saying, "You use your head to represent your God". In spite of the title of that song, Adé's tone is not aggressive, marking what Palmer highlights as an essential difference between most music from underdeveloped nations and that on Adé's album—listeners of the time expected such music to be "angry and militant", but Adé is rather "sweet and cool", a traditional element of Yoruban art. In his review, Palmer describes the beginning of the song "Mo Beru Agba" in detail, concluding that the music shifts "textures as mercurially as an African breeze, but with three talking drums and a section of congas, bongos, and other percussion instruments continuing to lay down a densely woven fabric of propulsive rhythms".
