'''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''.     


==Overview==
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 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==
It plays during the level {{Levelname|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 {{Levelname|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]]''.


==Appearances==
The introduction is almost the same as [[The Maw]] and [[Dust and Echoes]]
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]]''.
