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


It was composed by [[Martin O'Donnell]] and [[Michael Salvatori]] and is 2 minutes and 22.053 seconds long. The first part of the song is the same as [[The Maw (music)|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 first part of the music features strings accompanying the vocals from ''[[Remembrance]]'', which is a re-orchestration of ''[[The Maw (music)|The Maw]]'' (from ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''). The second part features a percussive beat with 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 part was re-orchestrated into ''Black Tide'' from the track ''[[Dread Intrusion]]'' in the ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]''. While the first part was re-orchestrated ''[[Ghosts of Reach (Halo Legends)|Ghosts of Reach]]'' in the ''[[Halo Legends: Original Soundtrack]]'' as well as ''[[Unsullied Memory]]'' in the ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack]]'', the second part featuring percussive beats was not featured in either albums.
