Hans Zimmer to Compose Title Theme for History’s “Sons of Liberty”
Hans Zimmer has been tapped to compose the title theme for History’s upcoming mini-series Sons of Liberty. The show is created by Stephen David (The Men Who Built America, The World Wars) & David C. White and stars Ben Barns, Henry Thomas, Michael Raymond James, Rafe Spall, Ryan Eggold, Marton Csokas, Emily Berrington and Dean Norris. The series follows a defiant and radical group of young men – John Adams, Sam Adams, Paul Revere, John Hancock and Joseph Warren – as they band together in secrecy to change the course of history and make America a nation. Kari Skogland (Boardwalk Empire) is directing the six-parter and David is also executive producing the project with Matthew Gross (Across the Universe, Body of Proof), Russ McCarroll and Elaine Frontain Bryant. Zimmer has previously co-scored History’s The Bible. Sons of Liberty is currently in pre-production and is expected to premiere in 2015.

According to the article, Zimmer will only write the title theme : it's not even said that it will be a composer from RC that will do the rest of the music (even if it will probably be the case I suppose)
I hope he does more than one theme and then leave the rest to Lorne like The Bible
This should be interesting… :)
