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

*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]]''. | |||
