'''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 (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).
'''Exodus''' is the seventh track (Disc 1 Track 7) included in ''[[Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack]]'', and plays mainly in the ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' campaign level ''[[Exodus]]''. It is composed of ''Before the Fire'' (0:00-1:29), ''The Sky's No Limit'' (1:29-2:33), ''The Other Side'' (2:33-3:15), ''City Under Siege'' (3:15-5:43), ''Few More Days'' (5:43-6:43), and ''Apology'' (6:43-7:18).


''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. The piece plays in the opening cinematic of the level, then continues into the gameplay sequence afterwards.
''Before the Fire'' (1:29)
 
''The Sky's No Limit'' (1:04)
''Displacement'' (0:43) fade in with upbeat percussion and electric guitar riffs. The melody repeats with digital effects. The piece plays when [[NOBLE Team]] traverse from the beach to the facility [[Sabre Program Launch/Research Range]], and during the latter half of the [[Halo: Reach E3 2010 Trailer]]. A percussion-only version plays exclusively in the level ''[[The Package]]'', during the third wave of Covenant exclusive to [Legendary]] in the "This Cave is Not a Natural Formation" chapter.
''The Other Side'' (0:42)
 
''City Under Siege'' (2:28)
''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. The piece plays during cinematic in which [[Jorge-052]] and [[SPARTAN-B312|Noble Six]] board ''[[Bravo 022]]'' in the launch facility. An extended version of the piece is also used as a transition piece in the level ''[[New Alexandria]]'', when Noble Six exits [[SinoViet Center]].
''Few More Days'' (1:00)
 
''Apology'' (0:35)
''Uppercut'' (1:10) features muted synth ambiance with pulsing rhythm. The rhythm quickens to a stop, and the synth ambiance fades out. The piece plays when ''Bravo 022'' defends ''[[Anchor 9]]''.
 
''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 piece plays during the cinematic in which ''Bravo 022'' docks with ''Anchor 9'' and Noble Six is briefed by [[Urban Holland|Colonel Urban Holland]].
 
''The Ardent Prayer'' (0:40) fades in with synth effects, playing eerie ambiance. The piece plays during the cinematic in which ''Bravo 022'' and other [[YSS-1000 Sabre]]s land onboard the ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', and continues into the gameplay sequence afterwards.
 
''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. The piece plays after Noble Six has cleared the hangar bay of ''Ardent Prayer'', and continues into the cinematic in which the [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] is brought onboard the ship. The more intense version plays when Noble Six exits the hangar bar, with the choir section playing when {{UNSCShip|Savannah}} is destroyed, and continuing when Six infiltrates the bridge.
 
''Discourage the Curious'' (0:40) features rhythmic electronic instruments. The piece plays when Noble Six defends the hangar bay with Jorge-052.
 
''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. The piece plays in the ending cinematic.
 
==Production notes==
*''Broken Bonds'' and its variations were named ''"Glue"'' because they were used at various points of the campaign to connect different music pieces, thus creating a sense of cohesion in the musical experience. ''Broken Bonds'' was titled ''"c_glue_full"'', and featured [[wikipedia:Phrygian mode|Phrygian mode]], much like ''Unreconciled'' from the earlier track ''[[Tip of the Spear (music)|Tip of the Spear]]'', though on the key of C. O'Donnell then added improvisations by low strings, horns, and high strings, followed by his own vocals with reverb effects. The vocal-only version was titled ''"c_glue_vox"'', and featured faux Latin syllables. Other "glue" pieces were created in different keys, including an atonal one.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=inception|sbhGh5lGU58|Martin O'Donnell|Reach Music Inception Pt2|Y=2020|M=11|D=23}}
*Composition of the synth part of ''Uppercut'' began on an arpeggiator as ''"spacey1"'', which O'Donnell described as a "stream of consciousness piece", which exist to evoke one type of atmosphere without any progression. It then evolved into ''"spacey2"'', which was not composed using the arpeggiator. The pulsing heard in the ''Broken Bonds'' was ''"spacey6"'', which was created for pulse and drive during space combat. Even though O'Donnell stated that, when combining two pieces together, one should be ambient with almost no harmonic rhythm and the other is percussive with no pitches, when he accidentally combined ''"spacey2"'' and ''"spacey6"'' during production, despite violating the aforementioned rule, it gave him "three stories for the price of two".{{Ref/Reuse|inception}}
*The track is the second longest track on the album, falling 22 seconds short of the longest track, ''[[Winter Contingency (music)|Winter Contingency]]''.
*The names ''Kat's Plan'' and ''Uppercut'' allude to [[Operation: UPPER CUT]].
*The name ''My Heart Breaks'' is a translated direct quote from Jorge-052 when he saw [[Reach]] being [[Glassing|glassed]] from orbit.
*The name ''The Ardent Prayer'' named after the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]-targeted [[Covenant]] [[SDV-class heavy corvette|corvette]], ''[[Ardent Prayer]]''.
*The name ''Belly of the Beast'' is a reference to a chapter in the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' campaign level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]'', drawing a parallel between Noble Six boarding the ''Ardent Prayer'' and [[John-117]] boarding the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''.
*The name ''Discourage the Curious''  is a direct quote from the order Holland gave to Jorge-052 after the Slipspace bomb has arrived on the ''Ardent Prayer''.
*The name ''Make it Count'' is a direct quote of Jorge-052's last words to Noble Six, "Tell them to make it count".
