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

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.

==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]]''.
