The movie, which is a follow-up to the blockbuster "The Da Vinci Code" is slated to open Friday with Tom Hanks reprising his role as mystery-solving Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon.
"Joshua played like an angel with his violin framed by the contrasting starkness of the electronics," Zimmer said in a statement. "He added such beauty and grace to the music, and such depth to the characters. He is an extraordinary artist."
"There's nothing formulaic about the way Hans thinks about the score," film director Ron Howard said, adding that Zimmer's music always "suits the sound that the film calls for."
