The title of a piano arrangement of a Touhou song (Hakurei Reimu's Theme) is:
「東方永夜抄 - Imperishable Night.」 より 博麗霊夢のテーム
(Question) What does より do in the title?
If it were to mean "from the game "Imperishable Night"", would から be just as suitable?
Answer
より as well as から means 'from'. This is the primary meaning. Many languages use the word corresponding to 'from' for introducing the standard for a comparative. It is the comparative usage that is the derived meaning.
