As requested by I got the horses in the back, here's Mercury, the Winged Messenger with the Mother 3 soundfont.

Mercury is both the fastest and shortest movement of the suite, perhaps reflecting its role as the quick "winged messenger". As a piece of music, it seems to function as a scherzo of sorts in the suite, following a standard ternary form pattern.

The main section of the movement is, appropriately for the planet it's depicting, fleet-footed and unpredictable.
The Trio doesn't take too long to arrive (1:02) and it features a compelling, somewhat weighty melody.
After the Trio has died down, the main section returns (2:05) this time with many colorful additions and changes in orchestration.

The Timpani assertively begins the short coda (3:05), which combines elements from both the main section and the Trio. Before we know it and without any pomp or circumstance, the planet abruptly bids us goodbye.
