From Thrones to Barricades
"From Thrones to Barricades" was a celebrated music album by the Imperial Shiro-Jing Symphony of Gaelen’s Landing, featuring a collection of patriotic and folk songs from the Imperial Republic of Shireroth. Released in honor of Shireroth’s 18th-century revolutionary era (at the time of its recording, the 'revolution' was a mild side theatre from the Shiro-Benacian War), the album captures the spirit of resilience and transition during a turbulent period in Shirerithian history.
Background and Concept
The album explores the early 18th-century Shirerithian epoch, a time marked by social and political upheaval as revolutionary ideals swept through the empire. With selections that chronicle the slow decline of the Old Regime and the rise of revolutionary sentiments, despite all upheaval, From Thrones to Barricades reflects the nationalistic fervor and unity that characterized in this era. The Benacians remained the enemy, while the Mango Throne was seen as an ally by everyone, except the most hardened revolutionaries and republicans. The album was produced to commemorate Gaelen's Landing’s role as a cultural bridge, highlighting Shireroth’s complex history in a way that resonates with both Jingdaoese and its Benacian audiences.
