Long Night of Solace is the sixth track (Disc 1 Track 6) included in Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack, and plays mainly in the Halo: Reach campaign level Long Night of Solace. It is composed of Kat's Plan (0:00-2:41), Displacement (2:41-3:24), Broken Bonds (3:24-4:25), Uppercut (4:25-5:35), My Heart Breaks (5:35-6:58), The Ardent Prayer (6:58-7:38), Belly of the Beast (7:38-9:14), Discourage the Curious (9:14-9:54), and Make It Count (9:54-11:46).

Kat's Plan (2:41) opens with brass playing the opening cues from The Battle Begins. Brass and high strings enter with a serene melody, briefly leading into a grim variation of the first phrase of the Gregorian chant from Halo Theme. Low strings then take over for ambience, joined by high strings and brass, then fade out.

Displacement (0:43) fade in with upbeat percussion and electric guitar riffs. The melody repeats with digital effects. A percussion-only version of "Displacement" plays during the Legendary-only third wave of the "This Cave is Not a Natural Formation" section of The Package, the eighth campaign level of Reach. "Displacement" also plays during the latter half of the Halo: Reach E3 2010 Trailer.

Broken Bonds (1:01) cut in with male choir, joined by low strings and brass. They play in ambiance before transitioning into the next piece.

Uppercut (1:10)

My Heart Breaks (1:23) opens with high strings playing the string part from The Battle Begins, repeating the suspenseful melody until ending with a single note.

The Ardent Prayer (0:40) fades in with synth effects, playing eerie ambiance.

Belly of the Beast (1:36) opens with a percussion-only version of The Battle Begins, followed by a more intense version featuring louder percussion. It then fades into choir.

Discourage the Curious (0:40) what even is this lol

Make It Count (1:52) opens with brass playing the opening cues from The Battle Begins, followed by strings and piano. The choir takes over, singing their melody from The Battle Begins before being joined by high strings. Piano and low strings return, and all instruments end with a single note.
