-'''Ghosts Of Reach''' is a song included in the ''Halo 2 Original Soundtrack, Volume 1''.
+'''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.
-It was composed by [[Martin O'Donnell]] and [[Michael Salvatori]] and is 2 minutes and 22.053 seconds long ([[7|2:22.053]]). The first part of the song is the same as [[The Maw (Song)|The Maw]] and [[Remembrance]], and 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.
+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==
-It plays during the level [[Regret (Level)|Regret]], 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]]. Part of this song's melody was later known as the Arbiter theme. The "Day at the Beach" part is remade as "Black Tide" in the track [[Dread Intrusion]] on the ''[[Halo 3 Original Soundtrack]]''.
+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]]''.
