BSX DIGITAL presents a premiere release of music from the original score to A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN, featuring music composed by Don Davis (THE MATRIX, JURASSIC PARK III, BEHIND ENEMY LINES), for the 1997 romantic drama directed by Paul Wendkos, written by Susan Rice, starring Olympia Dukakis, John Stamos, Della Reese, Kelly Rowan, Mitchell Whitfield, Stephanie Erb, Karen Ludwig, Reneé Taylor, Liz Sheridan and Estelle Getty.

Airing on television in 1997, A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN, also known as MOTHER’S WISH, was inspired by the true story of a dying widow who plays matchmaker to her unmarried son and a nurse. Tom (Stamos) is a successful divorce lawyer, but his unmarried state is the greatest sorrow of his elderly mother, Helen (Dukakis), who is in remission from cancer. While visiting the hospital for a check-up, Helen encounters her doctor's new nurse, Jane (Rowan), a single woman who is hesitant to meet someone new after getting out of a five-year relationship. Helen plays matchmaker between the two of them, much to the chagrin of her longtime caretaker, Katie (Reese). As Helen’s health deteriorates, she tries harder and harder to get the couple together...

Emmy winning composer Don Davis began playing trumpet and piano at the age of nine and started writing music at twelve. As his affinity for music grew, so did his aspirations, and soon he was composing and arranging orchestral charts for local jazz ensembles that he also performed with. After graduation from high school, Davis furthered his study of music at UCLA, majoring in music theory and composition, playing trumpet in college jazz ensembles and orchestras. After graduation from UCLA, Davis continued to study composition with Henri Lazarof and orchestration under Albert Harris. Harris introduced the young Davis to film and television composer Joe Harnell, best known for his work on TV shows such as V and THE INCREDIBLE HULK. He was immediately impressed by Davis' attention to orchestral detail, especially as evidenced by a chamber symphony Davis was writing at the time. Harnell became a mentor to Davis and introduced him to the professional world of film and television scoring. His early compositional work caught the attention of composer Lee Holdridge, who had penned the theme music for the television series BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and he helped Davis land the job composing weekly scores for the show. Davis' rich orchestral style meshed perfectly with the tone of the show, and he went on to win an Emmy for his work and achieve great acclaim as one of television's most gifted young composers.

After BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, Davis found his career as a composer soaring and he was commissioned to compose scores for dozens of top television movies and series, including SEAQUEST DSV, HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, Peter Benchley’s THE BEAST, TINY TOON ADVENTURES and STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. In 1997, Davis composed the score for Larry and Andy Wachowski's off-beat thriller BOUND, and the directing brothers immediately formed a close working relationship with Davis. The Wachowskis and Davis again collaborated on the MATRIX Trilogy. Davis' work for the three scores incorporated elements of popular music, electronic synthesizer effects, and even a touch of the avant-garde.
