Aretha Franklin isn't the only musician on the program for Barack Obama's inauguration on January 20th.
Composer and film music legend John Williams has been commissioned to write a new piece, to be performed by cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinist Itzhak Perlman, pianist Gabriela Montero and clarinetist Anthony McGill.
I can't find anymore information about the piece, but you can find out more about the program for the inauguration here.
