'''Ghosts of Reach''' is the fourth track in ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack|Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 1]]''.  
'''Ghosts Of Reach''' is a song included in the [[Halo 2 Original Soundtrack]] Volume 1.  


It was composed by [[Martin O'Donnell]] & Micheal Salvitori and is 2 minutes and 22.053 seconds long ([[7|2:22.053]]). It is extremely similar to [[Remembrance]], except this song is longer. Thus, when it passes the point at which Remembrance finishes a completely new tempo is added.  It is mainly composed of a chorus, but has some less-noticeable background instruments. It plays during the level [[Regret (Level)]], when [[Spartan-117]] is going through the underwater-transportation. The second half of the song is heard in the "A Day At the Beach" chapter of the [[Halo 2]] level [[Outskirts]]
==Overview==
The first section of the piece features strings accompanying the vocals from ''[[Remembrance]]'', which is a reinterpretation of ''[[The Maw (music)|The Maw]]'' (from ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''). The second section features a percussive beat (later featured, unaccompanied by strings, in ''Encounter'' in ''[[Mombasa Suite]]'') with strings playing a high-tempo rendition of ''Weight Of Failure'' (from ''[[Prologue (music)|Prologue]]''), which is followed by ''Cloistered Expectancy'' (the ''Halo 2'' version of the ''Halo Theme'' from ''Prologue''). The percussive beat ends before the ''Halo Theme'' sung by the choir ends.


[[Category:Halo Music]]
The second section was reorchestrated into ''Black Tide'' from ''[[Dread Intrusion]]'' in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]''. While the first section was reorchestrated into ''[[Ghosts of Reach (Halo Legends)|Ghosts of Reach]]'' in ''[[Halo Legends: Original Soundtrack]]'' as well as ''[[Unsullied Memory]]'' in ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack]]'', the second section featuring percussive beats was not featured in either albums.

==Appearances==
The soundtrack can be heard:
*In the [[main menu]] of ''Halo 2'' without the second section.
*In the level ''[[Outskirts]]'', in which the percussion from the second section plays throughout the chapter ''A Day at the Beach'', ending with the choir's section as [[John-117]] enters the highway tunnel.
*In the background of [[Remember Reach]], a website created by Microsoft as a section of the marketing campaign for ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', and the accompanying video ''[[Creation of the Monument]]''.
