Composer Hans Zimmer - The Da Vinci Code Music Score

There has been much controversy over the book, and now soon to be released film, the Da Vinci Code. But we're not going to dwell on the controversial issues sorrounding the Da Vinci Code, we will focus more on the music and the man behind it. I'm sure you'll agree that music plays an important role in any movie. A good musical score helps move the story, create excitement and elicit emotions.
